When Alison learned about a course-sharing program through The National Association of Higher Education Systems (NASH) that allowed her to take classes at another university — without transferring schools — she enrolled in a sports public relations course. “The class is about exploring the role of PR within sports and recreation organizations and the relationship between these industries and the media,” Alison said. “I chose it because I thought it would be great experience to learn more about sports PR since I want to work in the sports industry after I graduate college.” The experience helped Alison secure internships with two professional sports teams, boosting her future career prospects in the industry. With the organization planning to expand to 30 more campuses, more students could soon follow in Alison’s footsteps. ➡️ Learn more: https://msdf.co/3yDkEQU
