NU Sport Management Club
What We Do
General Meetings
SMC meets biweekly to discuss current topics in the sport management world, prepare for upcoming club events, and break out into industry-specific interest group briefings
Service Events
Essential to the practice of sport management, we host a minimum of one service event per quarter to harness the tremendous impact sports can generate for local and greater communities
Speaker Spotlights/Panels
We promote frequent interaction with sport management professionals, from a diversity of backgrounds, experience levels, and fields, to help students envision a potential career in sports management after college
Competitions
In line with sport's competitive spirit, we send Northwestern representatives to sport journalism, business, law, and analytics competitions. Furthermore, we host an annual SMC Sport Business Case Competition for the NU undergraduate community
"Field" Trips
As sports management is a highly experience-driven field, we visit local and regional sport facilities and organizations to develop a hands-on understanding of sport & entertainment event operations
Networking
Bridging the connection between Northwestern undergraduates and sport management employers, we organize and attend events that provide opportunities for entry-level positions at sport organizations
Notable Past Events
SMC got the opportunity to privately tour the home of the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette basketball which afforded us free courtside seats, as well as seeing equipment, locker rooms, production booths, suites, and more. Students were also treated to a panel of Bucks' professionals including team president Peter Feigin and NBA play-by-play commentator Lisa Byington.
