Looking forward to BYU-Idaho

In addition to interning with the Flash and Real, I have been getting ready for my last semester at BYU-Idaho! This fall I will be one of the Co-Directors for the Student Ambassador program. We work through the admissions office to communicate and build relationships with prospective students and their families. As we share our testimony and enthusiasm for the school we are able to attract to campus those students who will take advantage of what BYU-Idaho offers. Here is our website: http://www.byui.edu/admissions/studentambassadors/. It needs a little work.

I will also continue as the President of the Sports Administration Society (SPAD), which I started last winter semester. It is going to be a great semester for SPAD! Our main events will be our two trips down to Salt Lake to visit the Jazz, Grizzlies, Bees, Blaze, U of U Athletics, SCP Worldwide, and Real Salt Lake. After our visits we will be volunteering at Real Salt Lake games in the evening. On September 19th we will see David Beckham as he comes to take on Real. It is going to be great! Over the last couple of months I have had more than 75 students express interested in the society...and I haven't even been on campus!


SPAD members Lisa, Jaimie, and Cameron helped me at one of the Real games this summer. Society website: http://www.byui.edu/Societies/SPAD/.

I can't forget ultimate! No BYU-Idaho semester is complete without playing a little ultimate frisbee. Last summer I started the competitive league for Ultimate at BYU-Idaho. It took a lot of work to get it launched but it quickly become one of the most popular competitive sports. This fall I will hang up my playing shoes (leaving behind an undefeated recorded and five championships) and pack my whistle while I coach one of the girls teams. It is going to be fun!

The Real Flash

For the summer I have been living in Provo doing internships with Real Salt Lake and the Utah Flash. For Real Salt Lake I have been working on their Operations Team that has mainly dealt with game day set-up and tear down. For the Utah Flash I have been apart of their Marketing Team and have helped with gross root events, call lists, inventory system, and excel anything.

Devin made many new friends with all the free Utah Flash tattoos that he had. All the kids loved him!



Christas in July?!? I'd never heard of it. And apparently neither did Santa because he doesn't look too jolly.
