Kyle O'Brien of Danbury, CT, has been selected to assist with the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, being held Feb. 9-25 in Pyeongchang, Korea. O'Brien, a Sport Management major at Ithaca College, will assist with venue operations during the games.
Sport management students from Ithaca College regularly work at high-level sporting events. Students have previously worked at the Super Bowl, NCAA basketball tournaments, and in positions with numerous professional sports organizations.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer these students the opportunity of a lifetime at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games," said Sean Reid, dean of the School of Business. "A key part of the sport management program is the experiential learning that comes from internships and professional development activities. In the competitive job market in the sport industry, having these real-world experiences on their resumes differentiate our students and makes them stand out from the competition."
