Alumni, faculty, and students from the Sport Management Program reunited in Hartford, Connecticut in August at Salute Restaurant. The happy hour included many laughs, great food, and even better conversations. The event served as an opportunity to build upon the pre-existing relationships that have been established throughout our alumni base as well as expand and meet other professionals in the field with similar academic backgrounds. The event included close to 15 alumni from the local area. Overall, this series provides our alumni with the chance to reconnect with old friends and allows the program to expand beyond the University of Connecticut. Thanks to everyone who came, we look forward to future events together! To view photos from the event, visit this link.
