Sports Marketing and Analytics Club
The purpose of the Sports Marketing and Analytics Club is to connect members with industry professionals and learn more about careers with professional sports organizations. Members of the club (open to all majors at Mercer) can expect to attend one professional sporting event each semester. Regular club meetings occur on the third Wednesday of each month in the Stetson Building. The club also helps coordinate the Sports Business Combine, whereby professional teams and other sports organizations come to campus for networking and panel presentations.
Reach out to Faculty Chair Dr. Lane Wakefield or Club President Hannah Mae Deems if you're interested in joining.
