In the game of life, internships that focus on sports are giving College of Business students a boost in career experience.
Anna Rosello, an M.S. in Management student with a concentration in Sports Management, completed a summer internship at William Penn High School in New Castle. Rosello was responsible for organizing and overseeing sports camps, ensuring athlete safety through CPR/AED certification and injury prevention training, and verifying students were eligible to play by checking physicals and academic records. She also coordinated logistics for camps and practices, facilitated communication with parents and coaches, and managed sporting equipment and facilities.
“Her efforts helped create a well-organized, safe, and effective environment for both summer camps and the upcoming fall sports season, showcasing strong skills in leadership, planning, and collaboration,” said Dr. Robin Weinstein, dean of the college.
Piper Graefe, a senior in Marketing, completed an internship with Delaware Union Soccer, a youth-oriented sports community, working with Jeff Martino, senior director of Corporate Partnerships at WilmU. During her internship, Graefe was able to network and gain work experience. Her efforts contributed to big gains for the team. Marketing helped spur a 22% increase in business overall during the summer.
