UNOH students headed to Final Four

LIMA — A dozen University of Northwestern Ohio sport marketing and management students, along with two professors, are going to experience a major collegiate sporting event, making the trek to Houston to assist with the Final Four portion of the NCAA March Madness tournament.

UNOH professor Julia Etzkorn said, “Being able to show students how much of an impact intercollegiate sports has on the overall sport marketing and management world is priceless.”

Students will travel to NRG Stadium in Houston on March 30, beginning work the next day volunteering at the Fan Fest. The next few days as part of the Coca Cola Green Team, students will be assisting inside the stadium and assisting fans during the March Madness Music Festival. Finally, on Monday April 3, 2023 as part of the Street Team, students will be deployed to any area that needs extra help.
