STUDENT SUCCESS
Anderson Student Takes Top Prize at National Collegiate Sports Sales Championship,
Team Takes 2nd
Our own Anderson student Mark Hernandez is a national champion: he took first place in the National Collegiate Sports Sales Championship! The final round was held March 9 virtually through a livestream event due to COVID-19 restrictions. Mark, who is pursuing his BBA in marketing, beat out 120 competitors nationwide to take first place.

The sales team representing Anderson also took second place, out of 30 competing schools. In addition to Mark, the UNM Anderson sales team members were Alex Burwinkle, Yuchi Chen, Dawson Jariwala and Michael Kendall.
The team was coached by Joseph Weiss, Anderson senior development officer and experienced sports sales professional, and sponsored by Dimitri Kapelianis through the UNM Center for Sales & Business Development.

The National Collegiate Sports Sales Championship, presented by Eventellect, exists to support students interested in sports sales make the jump from college to the pros through an opportunity to showcase their skills in a competitive format.
