Sami Hauk, a student-athlete on the Husker soccer team, recently attended the Big Ten Men’s Basketball tournament with the CBS Sports Immersion Program.
This program was created to develop CBS Sports’ diverse pipelines and connect their business to different communities. In return, it provides participants with a working knowledge of all facets of live broadcast preparation, game coverage and post-broadcast activity.
It’s designed to create an impactful experience to give participants exposure, access and knowledge about career opportunities while interacting with producers, directors, on-air talent and operation leads and executives.
While at the Big Ten Basketball tournament, Hauk had the opportunity to network with media professionals and grow her passion for sports media. Hauk and the other 13 Big Ten student athletes selected for the program met with the CBS production team, attended press conferences and shadowed camera operators among many other hands-on experiences.
