Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee Internship Program
In partnership with the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee, the USII Special Events Internship Program launched in September 2022 and will finish in February 2024. With an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), the program focuses heavily on diverse hires, giving all students an opportunity to experience the many different elements of large scale event execution.
The traditional unpaid internship model for high-profile events such as the Super Bowl tends to favor students with financial means and social bandwidth. Students who rely on their own income or other assistance to pay tuition are often forced to choose a part time job over an unpaid internship.
With an emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), all Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee internship classes will focus heavily on recruiting diverse interns, leveling the field for opportunities to experience the many different elements of large scale event execution. By providing a livable wage and covering the cost of tuition, the Host Committee and UNLV hope to remove this barrier of entry for undergraduate and graduate students.
