This summer, the Bowling Green State University athletics department proudly announced a new internship program dedicated to enhance the ethnic minority and gender representation in the field of intercollegiate athletics. The Diverse Professionals Enhancement Program was created to help build a pipeline for future full-time internships and entry-level positions in college athletics.
The internship was split into two tracks, titled revenue generation and fan experience. The revenue generation track involves working with administration, the ticket office, and the Falcon Club, while the fan experience track works with the marketing department, gameday operations, and strategic communications.
Our two recipients for the internship are junior Shantaris Brown and senior Bryce Walker-Ollins.
