RHS marketing students recently traveled to MetLife Stadium to attend Sports Business Day, hosted by the New York Jets and coordinated by Ms. Incardona and Mr. Baiera.
Students toured the facilities and learned about the business of sports from professionals currently working in the field. Throughout the tour, executives from various departments within the Jets organization shared insights with the students, discussing their roles, career journeys, and offering advice for those interested in pursuing a career in sports marketing.
