COUGAR CREW TESTIMONIAL
Being a Cougar Crew member has been a great experience. You get to learn all the behind the scenes of what sports are about. Not only do you learn a lot about the way sports are run, but you get inside information about everything that is happening. You get to see all of the promotional items before they are released and get to put your ideas into the promotions schedule.
Cougar Crew is also great because you can help set your
hours. You can set your office hours around what works best
in your schedule. You also get to choose which sports you are
primarily focused on. This helps in two ways. If you
know your spring semester is going to be busy, then choose to be
involved with a fall sport. Also, if you are a huge baseball
fan, then pick baseball to be your primary sport and be more
involved in baseball than you ever have been before.
