My Syracuse experience has been incredibly involved. Between clubs, club sports, conferences and other trips, my program has given me many incredible opportunities to both further my career prospects and skills in sport and also to meet some of my closest friends and other students who have the same interests as me. Additionally, these programs have been great at balancing fun discussions and in-depth research, preparing me well for the future.
How is Falk preparing you for your future career?
Falk is preparing me for my future career by providing networking and industry experience opportunities through trips, conferences and events, as well as club-based research.
What has been your favorite Syracuse experience so far?
My favorite Syracuse experience was attending the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. Three analytics students and three management students were selected to go on the trip, where we met with analysts and HR professionals from the Pistons, attended an alumni dinner and worked the Draft itself. This trip was incredibly fun and we all became friends quickly, but it also gave us incredible professional connections.
Why do you think giving is important?
I believe that giving is important because it allows students to gain access to educational opportunities that they otherwise would not have, whether it be educational trips, conferences, or even access to higher education overall.
What does it mean to you to be Orange?
To me, being Orange means having access to an unmatched network of alumni, students, friends and professionals in the sports industry and the professional world overall who are willing and excited to support each other.
