Tejay Cleland

"Crazy to think about what I’ve gotten the opportunity to do less than a year out of college. Appreciate the love from the alma mater Newman University!"

Kendric Bailey

"Newman helped me understand that there are so many avenues available with this degree. I can obtain a role in sports or the business sector. Communication is needed for roughly every position. I love the fact of not having a ceiling or a set career I have to focus on like Lawyers or Doctors. I can work in IT, or government, or telecommunications and still utilize the skills learned at Newman. The Sports Communication degree helps with small talk in the business industry. Helping managers relax and feel comfortable enough to let us work on filling the specific client’s openings."

Alexis Stallard

"Both my education and my time working in athletics at Newman were integral in shaping me. If I hadn't chosen Newman, I wouldn't have been given the opportunities that set me up for success in my career. Getting hands-on experience with sports management through the baseball team not only helped prepare me for my career in sports, but it also gave me memories I'll always look back on with the most gratitude.  I'll be forever grateful for my time at Newman."
