A recent Trine University graduate shares about her transition from full-time student
to full-time sports professional in the newest episode of Trine University’s Center for Sports Studies podcast.
Jess Friederick graduated earlier this year with a bachelor’s degree in management and an MBA. She serves as pro shop manager, adult league coordinator and co-social media manager for the Lone Star Brahmas, a Tier II junior ice hockey team based in North Richland Hills, Texas.
In the podcast, Friederick discusses her dual roles with the Brahmas and how she applies the time management skills she learned at Trine to her current positions.
Produced through the Trine Broadcasting Network, the Trine Center for Sports Studies podcast focuses on the business side of sports, including interviews with sports professionals and current research in sports studies. Hosted by Brandon Podgorski, director of Trine’s Center for Sports Studies, the podcast is available at css.transistor.fm as well as on platforms such as Spotify, iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher.
Trine University’s annual Trine Day, a celebration of the university as well as an opportunity to support its mission, set records for number of donors and funds raised, bringing in more than $160,000 for scholarships, academic and athletic needs, and student organizations.
Trine University students learned about opportunities available with the Purdue Data Mine during a special presentation on April 10 in the Mark and Sarah Music/Ruoff Mortgage Esports Arena.
Trine University has received a lead gift from Dr. Rick L. James, alumnus and chair of the university’s Board of Trustees, and his wife, Dr. Vicki L. James, for a new building to house Trine’s business school.
