ISS '13: First Impressions

The 8th Annual Ivy Sports Symposium took place at Harvard Law School on Friday, November 22, 2013.  The Cornell Sports Business Society will be providing regular coverage before, during, and after the event.

Among the many Cornell attendees at Harvard Law School was a contingent of students experiencing their first Ivy Sports Symposium.  We decided to ask them the following question:

"In one sentence, what did you take away from the Ivy Sports Symposium?"

Here's what they had to say:

Hannah Clark

"I took away a sense of where the sports industry is going and how I will be able to fit into that world."

Noah Tanenbaum

"The sports symposium showed me how much more there is to sports than the final product that is put out for public consumption."

Spencer Sonson

"After attending my first Ivy Sports Symposium, I feel like I gained a lot of experience not only in the field of sports business, but also in networking."

Adam Malz

 "The biggest takeaway for me was that there are seemingly endless aspects to sports business and each field has a lot of room for growth."

Andrew Distler

"Working in sports requires skill sets that you don't necessarily require sports experience to obtain."

Hannah Sawyer

"The Sports & Social Impact with alum Todd Jacobson of the NBA was the most interesting panel I attended, discussing how the unique emotional component of sports allows the industry to create positive social changes."
