Today's student spotlight shines on Lauren Byard from our MBA Cohort! Lauren was recently promoted as a Service Coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. Her journey is a testament to the value of internships, hard work, and a great attitude. She has had multiple internships with the Cowboys, ample sales experience, and she was the graduate assistant for our Sports Entertainment Management program! “I credit my success to my family, past coworkers, and professors who have supported me throughout all my work experience and continuously offered guidance,” Byard says. Now that she’s reached her short-term goal of receiving a full-time position with the Dallas Cowboys, she wants to “continue growing, learning, and helping others throughout [her] career.” Congratulations Lauren! We can’t wait to see more of your success and growth in the future!
