Two Dozen Student-Athletes To Participate In Commencement

GREENVILLE, N.C. — Two dozen current and former ECU student-athletes are eligible to participate in Fall Commencement exercises inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum on Friday, Dec. 15.

Seven student-athletes on the football team as well as five members of the baseball team earned their bachelor's degrees in multiple fields. Five degrees were awarded in university studies and three degrees were earned in the areas of communication as well as recreation and park management. Multiple degrees were also earned in the area of public health.

John Clark, senior vice president of sales and operations for Fenway Sports Management, will serve as the ceremony's keynote speaker.

Clark is a 1996 graduate of the School of Communication in the College of Fine Arts and Communication at ECU. He started his career in sales and operations 21 years ago. After 10 years in baseball, Clark joined the Houston Rockets of the NBA, focusing on partnership sales. He then worked in professional football, managing the Miami Dolphins sponsorship group for a year. Clark went on to become the vice president of team sales at Madison Square Garden, where he built sponsorships and managed the partnership sales revenue across the New York Rangers, Knicks and Liberty before joining FSM in 2013.

Clark currently develops sales infrastructure and guides the sales team in delivering sponsorships that connect the company's clients with the audiences they wish to reach. He sells integrated sponsorship and marketing partnerships across the sports group's portfolio of properties, and also oversees the sponsorship and marketing sales efforts for FSM's exclusive property representation clients.

More than 2,200 Pirate graduates will receive their degrees this fall, including 1,607 undergraduates, 640 graduate students and 41 doctoral students.
