For the last and final blog, I am going to tell you guys why you should work in the IUP Sports Information Department. If I was not doing an internship this semester, I would be working there again.

If you want a job in the sports field when you graduate, then you should consider working in the IUP Sports Information Department. Not only does it look good on your resume, you will have the best hands on experience. While working in the IUP Sports Information Department, you will be working at mostly all of the athletic events at IUP. The only athletic events you won’t be working at are tennis, golf, and swim, unless you are there to take pictures for them. While working there, you will take up many positions, such as typing in stats on the computer, live tweeting the game, taking pictures of athletes, calling the game, and working the scoreboard. Along with working at the athletic events, you will also have office hours. For office hours, you will go in there once or twice a week or more and working two hours or more depending on your schedule. During office hours, depending on what you are good at, you could be editing videos and graphics to be shown on Twitter and Instagram and writing pre and post game stories. If you are going into working your second year there, you get to pick a sport you would like to be a contact for. As a contact you will be editing the sport that you chose program, sending out the word and TSA rosters to away team’s sports information director, and sending them the results at the end of the game.

Hope you enjoyed all of the blog posts I have written and that you consider working in the sports information department at IUP. Don’t forget to share this post and blog to your friends and family!
