Well I remember coming into Madison searching for different clubs because I wanted to do something sports related, and I saw SBC. I thought this was a perfect opportunity because I’m really into sports management, it’s what I want to do, so I figured I’d come by and see what it’s like. Then I ended up going to the Trivia Night and I saw that there were tons of people there that were enthusiastic about the club, and I knew this is where I wanted to be.
Now that you’re in it, what keeps you coming back to SBC?
I just love how many people there are that are willing to help. It’s awesome the way the club is reaching out through the peer mentor program and focusing on connecting the future generation of sports management to try to give us all the best opportunities that we can have.
