Their schedule featured tours of the stadium, locker room, and front office facilities, plus exclusive opportunities to network with current Union professionals throughout multiple departments. The students heard from staff from across the organization, including public relations, social media, team operations, ticket sales, fan services, and more.

In addition to question and answer sessions with Union staff, students learned more about the different pathways to achieving a career in sports from Widener University representatives like Dr. Jennifer Reinwald, an Assistant Professor in the school’s Department of Media and Communication. She and her colleagues shared information about Widener’s courses and resources, while delving into the benefits of studying at a school in proximity to a major sports city and just a six minute drive to a Major League Soccer stadium.
