Students representing the UNLV Intercollegiate and Professional Sports Management program and William S. Boyd Law School shared about their opportunities to intern with the Las Vegas Super Bowl LVIII Host Committee.
From the article:
“It’s an amazing feeling being able to consider our group trailblazers for this internship program, and also just any sports internship,” said [Bryce] Hinton, who is graduating with his master’s degree in May. “UNLV is sending a really good message and letting people know that Las Vegas is striving to become a sports capital and is, if not, now the sports capital.”
[The internship program] was the brainchild of a few university officials, including Jay Vickers, the chief operating officer of the UNLV Sports Innovation Institute — an initiative established in 2018 by the university’s division of research and economic development. Nancy Lough, director of the IPSM program and a professor at UNLV, introduced Hinton and many other students to the Super Bowl internship opportunity.
With the help of the NFL Foundation, Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee and United Way of Southern Nevada, more than $300,000 was raised to fund the program and pay interns.
