“The SEEM field is really only limited by your imagination and creativity.”

“This is the fun industry.”

“You can study what you’re really passionate about.”

As a professional in this multibillion-dollar industry, you could find yourself working backstage at a concert, running a large nonprofit event or corporate meeting, or in operations at a major sports organization. After focusing her undergraduate studies in this area, Casie St. Gelais ’13, ’18 MBA – Hospitality graduated from Johnson & Wales University and went on to work for the Miami Dolphins in member services, managing upwards of 1,600 season-ticket holder accounts.

“My Sports, Entertainment, & Event Management coursework in undergrad at JWU really helped give me an upper hand when entering the world of sports,” Casie said.
