Caleb Janowski (Youth Program Director - Youth Sports, YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties)

"The program provided me with the tools to approach any job with confidence. I was attracted to Seattle University by the connection to the athletic department in the graduate assistant role, and the additional course work in leadership. As far as I am concerned, without my master's degree from Seattle University, I would not be where I am."

Kelsey Bumgarner (Assistant Director of Donor Relations, Whitworth University)

It showed me what opportunities were available all the way from recreational to professional sports, provided a wide range of options when it came to practical experience, and gave me a wide network of athletics professionals to stay in touch with throughout my career."


Alli Young (Director of Operations, Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC))
