Fun Internship

Sport and Recreation Management senior, Dana Fitzpatrick from Grand Rapids, completed her internship this summer as the merchandise intern with the Traverse City Beach Bums.  The Bums played 48 home games this season in the Frontier League.  Dana spent her summer at the Wuerfel Park, home of the Bums, where she stocked the store, kept inventory, supervised game day staff, updated the store's website and many other responsibilities. Her administrative project was creating a catalog for the gift shop along with posting all new pictures of the merchandise on the website. Dana said, "I worked side-by-side with the Director of Merchandise, Scott McDowell, and learned the ins and outs of the merchandise department for a baseball team.  I was also lucky to work with the promotions department a little and saw what they did with the on-field contest.  It was a great internship and I loved living in Traverse City for the summer.  It was a blast!  The people at the Beach Bums were great, the staff was a lot of fun and they made work fun and exciting but still challenged us to strive to the next level.  I worked long hours, learned a lot and loved it!
