My name is Quinn Francis and I am currently a senior at the University of South Carolina. I will be graduating on May 9th, 2026 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport and Entertainment Management from the college of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management. Attending this school provided me with so many great work experiences in events such as the Masters Tournament, The National Wild Turkey Convention, and The Presidents Cup. I was also able to do work on campus as an SPTE Mentor where I helped use my experiences to provide new members of our program advice on being successful in the sports industry. Going to this university has been one of the best experiences of my life and I have made memories for a lifetime.

    I am from Lynbrook, New York and decided to attend this school around four years ago now. I always knew I wanted to go south for college, but I never realized how much I could have enjoyed it. Sports had always played such a big role in my life whether it was watching them as kid or playing them myself. A big reason for attending the University of South Carolina was its membership in the SEC and the sporting events that come with attending the school. Learning about how great the Sport and Entertainment Management program was at this school was an added bonus for me. With my passion for sports, I knew that I always wanted to stay involved with them and that led to me wanting to work in this field.
