Behind the Scenes at the Verizon Center
Not a lot of people can say they have had a private tour of the Verizon Center, let alone of the Washington Wizards locker room, but I can...
Thanks to our awesome, and well connected, professor, Iris Krasnow, we were able to get a private, one-on-one tour of the Verizon Center. We walk across the court where the games are televised and we got to see the players' practice court, as well as many other things.
Among our visit of the Verizon Center, we spoke with the communications director of the Washington sports teams and learned about his job. He told us about the significance of the communication director, his role with the players and the press in order to promote events, games, and schedule interviews to discuss the sports world.
It seemed like a pretty awesome job. I've really enjoyed seeing the public relations side of journalism and the different career opportunities that are available with a journalism degree.
Did I mention we go to see some of the players too?

I'm sure our class looked like a bunch of kids in a candy store as we took pictures and bombarded the speaker with a million and one questions.
