“这是我在这个行业中完成的最自豪的事情，因为它改变了人们的生活,丹·帕特里克说. “That ability to be able to see somebody start a program, learn from people who've been in the business, understand the highs and lows. The growth that you see, that's rewarding.”

在屡获殊荣的教师的支持下，与一些体育转播领域的知名人士建立了合作关系, the program has continued to grow since the first class launched.

合作伙伴关系

行业合作伙伴关系是该计划成功的组成部分，为学生提供了在毕业前获得各自领域经验的机会，以及与行业专业人士联系和学习的机会. 满帆’s 伙伴关系s with the likes of Boombah 体育 Complex, the United States Tennis Association, 罗林斯学院, 代托纳500, NFL职业碗, and Fox 体育 all unlock unique opportunities for students in the program.

“These relationships allow our students to get real-world experiences,” says Program Director Gus Ramsey. “For as much time as they spend in the classroom, 将其付诸实践，就像他们将在行业中经历的环境一样，也同样有价值.”

学生们还能够通过在福克斯体育NFL比赛中担任跑步者的机会，以及参与体育运动的机会，深入了解他们所在的行业 Pop Warner Super Bowl bracket show.

“我们有优秀的合作伙伴，他们看到我们在做什么，并为这些学生提供机会, I can't thank them enough,丹·帕特里克说. “Everybody wants to be on TV, or be a play-by-play voice. Well, we can put you on camera, and we can give you the opportunity to do play-by-play. So you get an opportunity to do those things, and better yourself.”

教师 & 工作人员

在满帆提升学习水平的一部分是教职员工带入课堂的行业经验，体育广播学士菠菜台子大全也不例外. “My faculty and I have 300+ years of industry experience,” boasts Gus. “我们有在国家和地方层面的镜头前工作过的人. The same is true for people with experience behind the scenes. That enables us to tell the students exactly what the industry will demand of them, how to handle those demands, 并以一种方式指导他们，让他们很好地理解一旦开始工作，每天的期望是什么.”

In the five years since the program’s launch, 格斯和他的教师们已经能够与他们的网络合作，为项目中的学生带来令人难以置信的客座讲座. Pivoting during the pandemic, 丹·帕特里克体育广播学院深入研究了这些关系，并举办了一系列大师班，邀请了行业巨头，包括 体育中心’s Scott Van Pelt, ESPN’s Jay Harris, 美国全国广播公司 体育' Mike Tirico, 和更多的. 通过这个系列, 在虚拟教室里，学生们能够获得洞察力，并向一些业内知名人士提出问题.

“I think we'll look back on the pandemic and how we handled it, whether it was for online students or on campus, as a pivotal point in the growth of this program,丹·帕特里克说. “Gus Ramsey brought in people from the industry. 你可以看他们谈论这个行业，但不必和他们在一起.”

Dan attributes much of the program’s success to the commitment of the faculty, 说, “当我上大学的时候, 你在一个大教室里. 没有一对一. [At 满帆] our job is to connect with you. 让你变得更好. To make you understand this business. And having faculty that understands that, that makes us different than everybody else.”

成功毕业

“丹和我将永远感激第一批校园和在线课程对我们的信任,格斯说。. “他们知道，当我们试图从头开始构建一个项目时，他们将成为某种程度上的小白鼠.” From the first graduating class in the fall of 2019 to the most recent graduates, 最初的小白鼠阶段是值得的，因为这个项目已经见证了毕业生们在体育转播行业取得了伟大的成就.

The first graduate to be hired out of the program, 泰勒他, was hired as a news reporter in Bakersfield, California just a week after graduating. He has since gone on to cover the Super Bowl and the MLB All-Star Game. But Taylor is just one graduate making waves in the industry. 其他体育广播专业的毕业生都在ESPN等组织和网络工作, 美国全国广播公司, WWE, 和更多的.

“说你要从零开始建立一个菠菜台子大全，让人们在我们的行业中取得成功是一回事. It’s another to see it happen,格斯说。. “无论是20岁或21岁的高中毕业生，还是30多岁和40多岁的人，他们来到我们这里，希望追求他们很久以前就开始的梦想. Seeing those people get jobs and start to live their dream is incredible.”
