Being a small town Iowa girl making the move to Denver,
Colorado has been an incredible adjustment. Living in Denver is noisier,
brighter, and I just can’t seem to take a breath of fresh air. However, the
change has been very beneficial to me. I have been introduced to new things and
situations both voluntarily and involuntarily, some for the better, some for
the worse. One of my experiences that has been for the better is my internship
at Metro State University.
As an intern at Metro State University, I have been working
in the athletic department. I have been introduced to many different tasks,
both working directly with the athletics and all the things that go on behind
the scenes. A couple projects I have been working on directly is setting up
halftime activities, promotional marketing, and scheduling the events. I have
put together multiple games for fans to play to help increase audience
participation at both soccer and volleyball events. So far, all the games I have
put together have been a success with both sports. In the upcoming weeks, I
will be getting involved with more of the games and working at the different
events. Helping with set-up, working during the game, and organizing the
halftime events are all tasks I will be dealing with.
Although Denver is not home, I have been able to make the
adjustment fairly easy. It was easy to get to know the area and what you are
able to accomplish within walking distance. One of the hardest things to get
used to was having to pick up groceries and run errands by only walking. However, I am pretty used to it now and
walking 3 or more miles a day is a normal thing for me.
