On behalf of The University of Tennessee and our leadership team,
we seek your support in collaborating with TEAM UT. TEAM UT will work directly with the New
Orleans Host Super Bowl XLVII Committee in preparing special events and
continue to build on the positive brand equity and reputation of the
organization. TEAM UT is a group of top
undergraduate and graduate students selected through an intensive interview
process and is making plans to work at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. TEAM UT has been a part of Super Bowls XLI
(Miami), XLII (Arizona), XLIII (Tampa), XLIV (Miami), XLV (Texas), and XLVI
(Indianapolis).
Dr. Fritz G. Polite, clinical professor of Sport Management and
Founding Director of the Institute for Leadership, Ethics, and Diversity created
TEAM UT for students to merge theoretical constructs into practical
application. The project allows students to work behind the scenes gaining
valuable insight into the workings of a world-class event. TEAM UT members are
responsible for all aspects of development related to the trip, which will
include community outreach programs working with non-profits. Past Super Bowl experiences have enhanced the
experiential learning applications of TEAM UT students and assisted in
obtaining jobs in the NFL and other sport industries.
TEAM UT must fund the entire trip through private fundraising and
sponsorship support from people like you.
These costs include travel, hotel, food, and any other expenses involved
in the trip to New Orleans. To help raise this money, there will be a
golf tournament held on November 5, 2012.
TEAM UT will also be holding a silent auction at the Irish Times and Pub
on November 18, 2012. Team UT asks for
your consideration in sponsoring our students, the program, and supporting this
highly important opportunity. In the form provided you will find the different
sponsorship opportunities available to you.
“TEAM UT has been
one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Being able to take the things
I have learned in the classroom and applying them in practical situations has
been invaluable to my professional development. Leading the TEAM this year will
help me gain the necessary tools to become a competitive MBA student, as well
as a leader in the sports industry. I look forward the community service piece
of this year’s trip. We have always received help from all of our great
sponsors; we want to finally give something back to the Knoxville community as
well as the great community of New Orleans.” -Andrew Busa (Director - Super Bowl
XLVII)
