Working in Sports
You might not think of PBU as a place where students train to enter sports-related careers, but this is exactly what is happening with many of our students interested in this field. At a time when enthusiasm for sports is at an all-time high in the U.S., these students bring Christ to the workplace and model ethics and integrity in their work. Here are a few examples:
Jessica Ogden (senior): Wilkes-Barre Yankees summer internship (2009) and potential job opportunity when she graduates. Currently completing an internship with the Philadelphia Flyers charitible foundation.
Derek Overby (senior): Internships with the Camden Riversharks baseball club (2008), Ironpigs (Phillies AAA team, 2009) and now interviewing with the Philadelphia Flyers foundation based on the outstanding experience the Flyers have had with Jessica. Job opportunity available for him upon graduation with the Ironpigs.
Liz Steiple (graduated Dec 2008): Internship with the Camden Riversharks; currently employed with the Boston Red Socks
Jeremy Van Etten (graduated several years ago); internship with the Flyers; employed with the Camden Riversharks baseball club in sales; new member of the PBU-SIFE Business Advisory Board; exhibitor at the 2009 PBU Career Fair.
