4

years of the Sidhu School’s exclusive Personal and Professional Development Program.

Wilkes University’s sports management program gave me the opportunity to immediately immerse myself in leadership roles while staying close to home. Stadium tours gave us the opportunity to go behind the scenes of major sports venues including Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Financial Field and M&T Bank Stadium.
