成人直播 students plan game promotion for the Maine Mariners
Students in Aimee Vlachos鈥 Sport Marketing course are teaming up with the Maine Mariners for a 鈥淩ivalry Night鈥 promotion that plays on the friendly rivalry between USM and 成人直播.
They鈥檙e calling on 成人直播 students, faculty and staff to come show off their school spirit on November 30, when the Maine Mariners face off against the Worcester Railers. President James Herbert will be on hand to drop the first puck.
Students from both schools will take part in events during the intermissions, including trying to dress in goalie equipment as fast as possible and shooting as many pucks into the net during an allotted time.
The event is being planned and promoted by the class.
Vlachos, M.S., instructor in the Department of Sport and Recreation Management, says the work gives students the experience of putting on a real event.
鈥淚 really try to make things as real as possible,鈥 she explains. 鈥淚nstead of standing here and talking about marketing sporting events, I鈥檇 rather they just do it.鈥
The idea took off in Vlachos鈥 class last year after she reached out to the Mariners鈥 Vice President of Operations Adam Goldberg.
鈥淥ur priority is to get entrenched in the community,鈥 Goldberg says. 鈥淲e are here to help and support. I think the project with this class is well-suited for the Mariners and the students working on it.鈥
Goldberg recently attended Vlachos鈥 class to get up to speed on how planning for the event is coming along. He also took time to answer questions about how his career path led him to the East Coast Hockey League鈥檚 newest franchise in Portland, Maine.
鈥淢aybe the path I took can inspire them to take some chances and go after the opportunities out there,鈥 he says.
Goldberg also has some advice for the students.
鈥淚 encourage them to get into situations where they are a little uncomfortable or not used to,鈥 advises Goldberg. 鈥淭his is a time for them to learn and grow.鈥
成人直播 and the Maine Mariners already have some connections. Trevor Fleurent, B.S., 鈥17 (Sport and Recreation Management) plays for the team, and Jordan Place, B.S., 鈥10 (Sport Management) is the team鈥檚 director of partnerships.
