Working a paid internship in Shocker Athletics means working nights and weekends. The deadlines are constant – before a game, during a game and after a game.
WSU students are learning the importance of teamwork and communication in order to handle the pace and conditions as part of the athletic department’s creative team.
Knowing they are serving as a conduit from all 16 Shockers sports to their fans makes it a job they enjoy.
“There is always something happening with each sports team,” said sophomore Bryan Chavez, a journalism and media production major from Dallas. “We’re providing for fans, and they’re relying on us. That’s what makes it a fun job.”
