More than 140 undergraduates with an interest in pursuing “the business of sports” turned out for an evening of speed networking on February 22. In 15-minute segments, and in small groups, the students had the opportunity to sit down at a table hosted by a representative from Under Armour, Nike, the Boston Globe, the Women’s Tennis Association, the Boston Celtics, ESPN, or one of 12 other companies and organizations—until the melody of “For Boston” resounded and it was time to move on to another table. Wan-Yi Sweeting ’16 and fellow members of the student-run Sports Business Society at the Carroll School of Management organized the event, which took place in the Murray Room. The Career Center and Boston College Athletics were cosponsors.
