Business Fellowship
The HSG Business Fellowship is designed to improve the pipeline of future sports industry leaders by providing a unique, immersive, year-long sports business fellowship opportunity for high-potential, recent college graduates.
Overview
The fellowship program will provide a range of experiences in one or more sports business disciplines at the Cleveland Browns front office, while also providing opportunities for additional access and exposure to the Columbus Crew. This unique setup is designed to expand the participants’ knowledge of and experience in the business of professional sports, and prepare them for a successful career in this exciting and dynamic industry.
