<p>Has anyone had an experience with work connections in the sports world out of UMD? I know that is EXTREMELY broad but I'm trying to avoid going somewhere to major in sports management just for the connections. I'm looking for any information about jobs with UMD sports teams, summer internship opportunities with professional teams, job opportunities right after school, etc. I'm planning on majoring in some sort of business and possibly minoring/majoring in journalism if that helps at all. I'll take any information I can get. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>One of the OA’s at orientation is a trainer (or manager?) for the Women’s bball team. She said that she just went into the office, and said she was interested in working with the team. She also said that they don’t advertise jobs…they are looking for people who REALLY want to work with the sports teams. Guess I’d start with the Athletic Director?</p>
<p>OA? Thanks for the response. I guess I’m really just looking to gain some good connections because I’m planning on going to law school and possibly get an MBA as well when I am finished with college and that way I will be able to possibly land a better job after all of that.</p>
<p>sorry…orientation adviser, the students who work during the summer for orientation for the incoming freshman. I believe this particular young woman will be a sophomore in the fall.</p>
<p>Got it. Thanks for clarifying.</p>
<p>I’d suggest you email Dr. Phil Evers and ask him this question. [University</a> of Maryland Undergraduate Portal](<a href=“http://bmgt-students.rhsmith.umd.edu/undergrad/Portal/PortalHub.nsf/ID/7NBHX2]University”>http://bmgt-students.rhsmith.umd.edu/undergrad/Portal/PortalHub.nsf/ID/7NBHX2)</p>
<p>Great advice, thanks</p>
