Create Invaluable Opportunities for HSES Students!

In the increasingly competitive world of sport management, exercise science, physical education and community health, real-world professional experiences are what often set students apart when they enter the job market after graduation. The Sport Management Student Experience Fund will be used to help send KU Sport Management students to volunteer in professional development opportunities across the US - events like the National Collegiate Sports Sales competitions, mega events like the Super Bowl and NCAA Final Four and many more.

These career-launching opportunities often comes at significant financial cost to the student due to travel and registration fees. The goal of this LaunchKU campaign is to help offset these costs and eliminate finances as a limiting factor for Jayhawks looking to enhance their resumes.

Thanks to the Sport Management curriculum at KU -- combined with the experience gained by this important fund -- graduates have left KU to serve in a variety of positions within the sporting industry and related fields. Potential position titles after graduation include:

• Ticket sales manager
• New membership sales consultant
• Youth soccer coordinator
• Marketing & foundation coordinator
• Guest services specialist
• Events & operations coordinator

Any support you can give these students will be gratefully received and help springboard a new generation of Jayhawks into the workforce!
