These students from The University of Tennessee-Knoxville will be working behind the scenes and doing research to learn how a large-scale sporting event is prepared, planned and carried out at Super Bowl XLII. This year the team of 12 students was selected from three different colleges: the College of Business Administration (CBA), College of Education, Health and Human Sciences (CEHHS) and College of Communication and Information (CCI). Two students and two staff members from the University of Memphis will be a part of the team as well.
This is TEAM UT’s second opportunity to work and learn at the Super Bowl. The team will be in Phoenix January 29 to February 4. Dr. Fritz G. Polite, director of the Institute for Leadership, Ethics & Diversity (I-LEAD) in Sport and assistant professor of sport management will lead the group. “These unique opportunities will greatly enhance our students’ opportunity to compete at the highest level. We are very blessed and appreciate the students and their respective programs,” Polite said
