On a day-to-day basis Jon will make sales calls as well as give the interns sales calls to complete. J.J. reviews and creates marketing plans and has the interns assist him in the process prior to sending the final draft to Heather.
Program planning: The weekly meetings that we attend are held for the purpose of discussing what needs to be accomplished during the week. The interns are assigned tasks by J.J., Jon or Heather. Once we have completed the tasks assigned to us, we send our work to J.J. or Jon to review it before it is sent to Heather. For example, if there needs to be a marketing plan created for Baseball, we create it and then we send it to one of them to review and make changes and then they send it to Heather for final review.
Evaluation of agency:
One of the strengths that the University of Toledo has is that they are a Division One University competing in a well-known conference. I believe that their marketing department is run fairly efficiently in comparison to Bowling Green. I have worked in the athletic department at Bowling Green and Toledo does a better job marketing and promoting their events over social media. Weaknesses in the University of Toledo 's athletic department were noted in communication and time management. In regards to communication, the interns were often given something to do without a due date and without much direction on how to start it or what their expectations are for the project. The
The position requires expertise in writing, computer and communication skills and a passion for sports. My academic programs emphasized sports communication and management. Through my courses and Sports Link at High Point University I am now proficient in these skills. In addition, I previously held an internship with the Greensboro Grasshoppers in the summer of 2015 as a part of the promotion team. While there, I gathered fans to participate in game changing activities

According to the article Self-Sustaining Athletic Departments: More Than What Meets the Eye, there are actually several universities, and college athletic departments that are self-sustainable (22). Out of those colleges and universities, some of them actually give back to their respective schools (Dosh, 2011). . Moreover, it can be firmly stated that UNL athletic department needs some work, starting with its priorities on what is actually important and what isn’t

When I received the promotion to Director of Academics and the Assistant Athletic Director for Academics at Portland State I was required to keep the job responsibilities that were associated with my Academic Advisor position. This meant that not only was I responsible for job duties as an advisor but I was also given the responsibilities of the Academic department and supervising. I went from a case load of 150 students to over 300 and supervising a staff of just over 10. I had to learn to manage my time efficiently and effectively while being able to handle and manage crises that arose during the day or any impending deadlines. It was also not rare to receive requests from the University General Counsel, Athletic Director, NCAA, Compliance

The Learning Plan ispart of the academic programme of work you are required to complete for Co-operative Education.
My supervisory meetings this semester have been informative. I am gaining more confidence in my performance and knowledge base. After being in classes over six years, I expected the subject matter to be more fluid in my thought process. However this was not the case, I had to brush up on some of the theories and the behaviors associated with the theories; during my time at my practicum. Being in a more clinical environment is different and during our weekly session my supervisor will use clinical terminology and theories, which is great I just need to mentally adapt to my new environment.

By working for a media relations department, it allows you to get experience in three additional sections of the sports world, public relations, statistical analysis, and marketing. Public relations and Media relations tend to go hand and hand so it was not uncommon when I found myself working more with the communications side of sports. During my second year, I was assigned to work the post-game conferences for football. It involved me going down to the locker rooms to bring up both the away and home team coaches. Once the press conference was over, I then had to transcribe both the coach and player interviews for the final writes ups for the game. My favorite part of the internship was the statistical analysis side. This part of the internship I found myself completely in my comfort zone. When I would manage sports in high school, one of my tasks were to score the games and keep each player’s stats. Not only was I keeping score for both Towson’s field hockey team and baseball team, I was learning how to use different programs that are used in professional sports. The last section of the sports world media relations overlapped with is marketing. This side taught me how to market college athletics and everything that goes into a marketing plan. Marketing seemed to be the departments weakest department because of the lack of students that showed up to athletics. When tailgating was taken away, we had to come up with alternatives for students to enjoy game-day. I tend to think more logistically than creatively, so this forced me to become more
