Prompt Post #5 - FLISE
An organization that I am apart of on campus is the Future Leaders In Sports and Entertainment, or better known as FLISE. FLISE gives students a chance to be introduced to people already successful in the field of sports and entertainment. We meet every other Tuesday at IM West which is on campus at Michigan State. A meeting usually consists of a short overview of current events that we can volunteer to be apart of followed by a guest speaker. This past Tuesday, September 30, 2014, our guest speaker was MSU Athletic Director Marc Hollis. He was able to give us really helpful insight to what it takes to do his job. We also volunteer at sporting events helping pass out flyers or items for the first 500 students or something of that nature. Not only do we volunteer at sporting events but we give back to the community as well. We are also involved with the Nike Reuse a Show program. The program is where people donate old shows that they no longer wear so that Nike can recycle them into making tracks or outdoor basketball courts. I believe that the community really appreciates what FLISE does and supports our efforts.

I think this organization you are in really is interesting since it works with the community and helps you understand what you want to do in the future since you are a sports management major. While I wouldn't be interested in doing this, I think it's pretty cool the group does volunteering and help the community which is really rewarding with what you do.
ReplyDeleteIf you already don't I suggest you volunteer sometime, it really is rewarding and fun sometimes, since I have volunteered before. It just makes you feel good that you did something for the community and giving back to people.
Hey Clint! I think that it's awesome that you are getting involved in a club where you can get some experience in your field of study. Getting involved will give you more of an insight into the specifics of your field too. Sports broadcasting sounds like an interesting major that I have never thought of pursuing. Also, I think it is awesome that the club gives back to the community. Is there a specific sport you want to focus on in broadcasting or do you not have a preference?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The main sports I want to cover are football and basketball but I'm open to baseball as well.
