McKENZIE (February 2, 2023) — Six Bethel University students and two faculty members will travel to Glendale, Arizona to work Super Bowl LVII.
This is the fourth consecutive year Bethel’s sports management program has earned the honor of working the championship sporting event, and Bethel is one of only two schools from the state attending. Josh Greer, associate professor of sports management, and Tim Wilson, assistant professor of sports management, will be accompanying the students on this experiential learning experience.
“While we were developing this program, I knew we needed to invest in our students. These hands-on experiences and networking opportunities help our students find jobs in the field after graduation,” said Greer.
The students will work in a variety of jobs throughout the weekend leading up to game day on Feb. 12 to learn what it takes to put together such a large-scale sporting event. Hayden Thomas, senior sports management major from Qulin, Missouri, states that no matter what area of the event they may be working, there will be many opportunities to network with professionals in the field.
