Sports and Entertainment Career Fair

Hi business majors:

As internship director, I get questions from
students about internships and jobs in the sports
management area. Unfortunately, other than an
occasional announcement from the P-Bruins or the
Patriots, I don't see much offered in that
area. Today, I received an interesting flyer
from New England Patriots regarding a sports and
entertainment career fair that they will be
hosting a Gillette Stadium in April. If you are interested, read on ....

The New England Patriots and Revolution will be
hosting their third annual Sport and
Entertainment Career Fair at Gillette Stadium on
Saturday, April 12th, 2008 from 4:30- 7:30 PM.
The career fair is open to all students graduate
and undergraduate that are looking to make the
first step into the Sports and Entertainment
industries. Attendees will have the opportunity
to meet with representatives from many of the
industries top professional teams, minor league

and public relations or advertising agencies.

The price of admission to the fair will also
