This is another oppurtunity that I cannot believe I have the option of doing.  As soon as I got to Clemson, my uncle told me that if there was any job I needed to get it would be a job in the Sports Information Department.  This was before he even realized that I wanted to pursue public relations as a career, and he had no idea how invaluable this job would be for my career.  Once I got involved with the basketball office, I found that I couldn’t leave…it’s a family atmosphere in there.  But it has always been in the back of my head that I need to be working in Sports Information.  I began talking to Tim Bourret this spring about possible plans for the summer.  What we worked out was that I get to work in the basketball office and come over to sports information one day a week in the summer to volunteer.  If sports and PR are my passions, then Sports information is where I need to be and Tim Bourret is absolutely who I need to know.  I have no idea what I’m doing, I am just excited about the oppurtunity to get in there and learn all I can.  I would say that I haven’t had the worst gig in the world as a college student…you know working in the Clemson sports department for all three years!
