The UNLV Sports Innovation team was featured on News 3 regarding Super Bowl internships.
From the story:
Thanks to a trifecta of $100 thousand donations by the Host Committee, the United Way of Southern Nevada and the NFL, a total of 45 paid internships are being offered to UNLV students giving them the rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience working toward the success of a major sports event in the entertainment capital of the world.
“To be involved in the biggest sporting event in the United States is so special,” said Solomon Escalante, one of the first interns selected in the program. “It’s been so good for each of our careers to get the chance to meet industry experts in Las Vegas and to communicate with small business owners and large business owners, and understand how the moving pieces within the sports industry come together.”
