Industry Mentors
Our sports and outdoor product industry connections mean each step of our students' journeys is rich with meaningful and vibrant opportunities.
It starts with each student being assigned their own industry mentor. Mentors are introduced to students during the first term to start building an advisory relationship. Mentors are available to ensure students feel supported in their questions about the industry and how to best reach their career goals.
Industry Internships
To further enhance industry engagement, students complete an internship that immerses them in a sports or outdoor product company in the United States or abroad.

What makes this year special? We're spotlighting the future with a powerful industry insights panel, "Understanding the Consumer Forces: Shaping What's Next in the Sport and Outdoor Industry." Today's consumers are redefining what drives brand loyalty: seeking experiences over possessions, transparency over promotion, and connection over transaction. The rise of AI, digital storytelling, and social purpose is reshaping how brands engage, innovate, and earn trust. This conversation will explore how leaders across sport and outdoor are adapting to meet these evolving expectations.
This is a great chance to connect across generations of leaders and changemakers in sport. Whether you're a proud alum, current student, or valued industry partner, we can't wait to celebrate with you.
