"I had a job offer before graduation — here's how it happened."

Hi {{First Name}},

I want to introduce you to someone who was exactly where you are now — researching programs, weighing options, wondering if the investment would pay off.

Lauren arrived at USC with a passion for sport and a drive to work in professional leagues. What she found was something she hadn't expected: faculty who didn't just teach the business — they were the business. Through her time in the program, she built relationships with industry leaders who became the foundation of her career network.

After graduation, she moved directly to NHL headquarters in New York City. From there, a trajectory that took her to vice president roles at two major professional sports organizations — exactly the kind of outcomes our program is built to produce.

She's one of more than 25,000 HRSM alumni working across the globe in sport, entertainment, hospitality, and beyond. Many return regularly to hire from our program — because they know exactly what our graduates bring.

Admission is limited to 30 students per year. That selectivity is deliberate — smaller cohorts, deeper faculty relationships, and a peer network you'll still be calling on a decade from now.
