I'm actually a History Major with a Minor Concentration in Afro-American Studies...

...but, I plan on going to Law school in a few years and then pursuing a career as an Entertainment or Sports Agent. Oddly enough, UCLA does not have a major concentration for Business, Sports, or Entertainment (marketing, management, whatever), so I decided to create and organization for the student body which would address these needs.

Going to school and living in the Los Angeles area, students are surrounded by media 24/7, and to not be able to actively pursue that career path while still in college boggled my mind. So, the Sports and Entertainment Business Network (SEBN) at UCLA, which I am President of, seeks to educate to educate undergraduates about the entertainment industries, provide opportunities to gain experience, and help employers, alumni, and students to connect through networking, work experience, and community involvement.

As a result of SEBN, I've also started working at the Graduate School of Business at UCLA for an Executive Director, and one of the tasks I was employed in doing last quarter was assigning enrollment numbers to a handful of the best Juniors and Seniors for this specific class. There are 117 people in it, 50% are getting their MBA, 25% are in the Film Schoo'ls Graduate production program, 15% are engineers, and then the rest were my choice.

If you're interested more in the class, HERE is a link to an article written on a similarly structured course taught last year by the same professor, Peter Guber.
