Earlier this semester, East Stroudsburg University’s department of sport management welcomed five guests currently working in the sport industry to campus for the S.C.O.R.E. (Sport Careers: Opportunities, Recruitment, and Employment) Symposium.

The guests served on a panel discussion sharing their experiences and insight with current sport management students on the future direction of the industry. Following the discussion, students participated in a networking session with the speakers and representatives from local industry leaders including Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Penguins, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Pocono Raceway, Hoop Group, Lehigh Valley IronPigs, and The SpringHill Company.

The guest panelist included: Jody Frey, director of recreation services at Lafayette College; Joe Kennedy, executive director at All Vote No Play; Steve Murrary, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference; Joe Mattioli, partner with The Baher Group; and Elijah Crandall, athletic services at Nike.
