"The University of Wisconsin's Athletics Department has been a great resource for me to find career opportunities. Last spring I worked with my Career & Leadership coordinator, and she helped me make connections to facilitate relationships with people I probably would have had a hard time getting in contact with.
"Their relationship with the Bucks gave me the opportunity to go on a job shadow, which eventually helped me get a summer job at the Fox Sports Headquarters in Los Angeles."
