Students will meet, speak with and learn from the employees from the following departments: XL Center/Hartford Wolf Pack Executives, Finance Department, Hartford Wolf Pack Sales & Marketing, XL Center Operations & Event Management. Many students want to be in the Sports and Entertainment world, but don't realize that you don't have to be the athlete or entertainer. This will expose them to various career opportunities in their field of interest. In being able to meet and converse with various employees, from various fields, the students can learn what it takes from them to achieve a position in that field and ask various questions that may not have been able to be answered by someone outside of the field. The exposure and the experience is PRICELESS!
