"The UMass Sport Management Masters Program has been the essential component of my professional life. It has enabled me to grow in my 20+ years with the Boston Celtics organization. The program provided me with a solid foundation of sport-business theory, problem-solving and decision-making skills, as well as, enabled me to have a hands-on internship experience. I am very fortunate to have received the quality training, guidance, and preparation I received from the Department's knowledgeable faculty and staff.
