Hawken Athletics Internships

SAMM

The Student Athletic Management & Media (SAMM) Intern Program will give students an opportunity to work with Hawken’s sports management personnel to gain invaluable experience working at sporting events and in media relations. Interns will assist the athletic director with daily activities associated with running a successful athletic department, including game-day management and digital media programming. 

Opportunities available for a student athletic management & media intern: 

• Promotions (create, implement, run in-game promotions) 

• PA announcer (boxcast live broadcast, game day announcers)
