Intern at Korff Enterprises

"[My experience at Tisch] has certainly given me a better plan of attack for getting a job after graduation. "

Being in close proximity to so many influential organizations and people in the sports industry was a decisive factor for me in picking NYU. It really trumped the opportunities offered by other schools.

Certain professors have given me great insight into the inner workings of the sports industry, which has helped me significantly to refine my immediate and long-term career goals. It has certainly given me a better plan of attack for getting a job after graduation. The fact that so many of the professors are adjuncts who actually work in the sports industry gives students immediate access to a network, not to mention understanding the business in a real-life, non-theoretical way.

Going to classes in midtown Manhattan has been extremely convenient. Many sports organizations are in midtown and I am just finishing up an internship in public relations with the Major League Baseball Players Association and getting ready to begin another at Korff Enterprises, an event and marketing company.
