\"Michael<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Indiana Tech\u2019s sport management degree program is becoming a pipeline to top-level sports teams in all leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, sport management graduates have ascended to positions with the NFL\u2019s Tennessee Titans, MLS\u2019 FC Cincinnati, MLB\u2019s Baltimore Orioles and the NBA\u2019s Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Warner is the latest Warrior graduate to get the call to the big leagues. The 2023 graduate and Louisville, Kentucky-native was hired by the NBA\u2019s Atlanta Hawks in June as a membership associate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI work in the Hawks\u2019 inside sales ticket department to make sure season ticket holders and businesses in the Atlanta area receive the best game-day experiences possible. Things are going great\u2014I am learning and growing as a business professional at the highest level with the best reps in the NBA,\u201d Warner said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While at Indiana Tech, Warner said he learned how to maximize his time and gained a good understanding of the different jobs available to him in the sports industry. Interning with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the city\u2019s former G-League basketball team, helped immensely. In addition, he received plenty of guidance from connections he made with alumni and current professionals affiliated with Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m very excited and proud of Michael for getting this chance to prove himself with the Atlanta Hawks. He has worked very hard to get this opportunity and I know he will make the most of it,\u201d said Professor Craig Dyer, chair of Indiana Tech\u2019s sport management program. \u201cHis college career is a perfect example for how one should approach their college career. He always asked really good questions and he was dedicated to gaining valuable work experience. If you want to be successful in the sport industry, you need work experience along with the degree. Michael not only realized this, but he took advantage of all the opportunities that were available to him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-156438","stories","type-stories","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWarner is the latest sport management grad to reach the big leagues -
