“During my sophomore year in high school, I was fortunate enough to attended the RSBM Summer Camp and it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I got to experience the business of sports up close and personal. I was exposed to professionals working in product development, professional sports, college sports and sports commissions. I was able to see all of the possibilities the industry had to offer and confirmed that sports business was the major for me.”
“The RSBM Sports Institute that I attended going into my senior year of high school opened my eyes to all of the possibilities that were open to me through the program. What’s sets Maryville’s summer program apart from others is that there simply is no other program offered that can compete with the number of established professionals in the industry that you get to connect with and learn from.”
