Sports Executives Share Insights with Jordan Marketing Students

Paul Seiler, CEO of USA Baseball (pictured right), joined the Sports and Entertainment Marketing II class on January 13, 2012.  Mr. Seiler shared his 23 years of experience with the organization with the class.  Seiler is just one of the many speakers who have visited or met with the class recently.  Most noteably was a meeting with North Carolina State University Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow.  "The class met with Dr. Yow on the NCSU campus in October for a facility tour and conversation," explains teacher, Philip Davanzo.  Also, joining the class has been Eric Deutsch of the Dayton (OH) Dragons, via Skype, Mike Hurley of Intangibles LLC, Davis Whitfield of the NCHSAA, and Chris Duty of the Town of Cary.

Each speaker has spoken about different aspects of the sport industry; ranging from recreational facility management, high school athletics, to professional sports. There are many more speakers lined up for the remainder of the year.  Students interested in a career in sports, please see Coach Davanzo for more information.
