Opportunities ON Campus
Student Ticket Positions
Chris Peterson , Ticket Sales Rep with the Florida Gators ...AND UF Sport Management alum, wanted to share this opportunity:

"...our office is currently accepting applications for a fall student ticket position...The position does not start until the fall, but I believe that we are looking to hire several students to fill this role because it does require some work hours during normal weekdays, in which students have various classes throughout the day. It will also most certainly require students to work on the weekends as well, especially on weekends in which we have home sporting events, such as football.

The hiring manager is a gentleman named Brian Gregory, who is a fellow co-worker and a really great guy. His email is BrianG@gators.ufl.edu

I would encourage any student interested in applying for the position to contact Brian to introduce him/herself.

The UF men’s tennis program is currently looking for a manager for this upcoming year.

Interested? Email me ( craig33@ufl.edu ) to chat about it.
