Sean Salemme, Assistant General Manager of the Johnson City Cardinals, and VI Students in Sport Management program.
The Virginia Intermont Sport Management department hosted guest speaker Sean Salemme last week, who serves as Assistant General Manager of the Johnson City Cardinals minor league baseball team.
Salemme returned to VI for the second time to share with students his professional journey through athletics. His talk emphasized the importance of internships and networking as keys to breaking in to the competitive field.
?I am so thankful to Sean for taking time out of his schedule to talk with my students,? said Nikki Stewart, associate professor of Sport Management. ?It?s important for them to hear Sean?s story and to gain insight about his area of expertise.?
VI?s Sport Management program is designed to prepare students for careers in community management and recreational and professional sports industries. Numerous guest speakers throughout the semester reiterate the classroom curriculum and offer students an inside look into various professions. Small classroom settings facilitate invaluable networking and have led to internship opportunities with the Johnson City Cardinals, Cal Ripken Baseball, IMG Academy, and Bristol Motor Speedway.
Other guests slated to speak at VI this October include Speedway Children?s Charities (Bristol Chapter) Director Claudia Byrd, East Tennessee State University professor Dr. Gary Lhotsky from the Sport Management master?s program, and Bristol Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dye.
