The days work included a number of different tasks and responsibilities, and also working the men's basketball game that night against Salem International. I helped the office manager in the morning with a variety of tasks, including looking for some paper work and then scanning the documents and emailing it to the person in charge of compliance. After completing my work with the office manager, I and another intern that is a lacrosse player at the university met with the promotions coordinator that I have worked a lot with over the course of this mentorship. Lacrosse season begins in just a few short weeks and she wanted to discuss possible promotions for the games and how a game of lacrosse works with quarters, halftime, and timeouts. I played lacrosse in high school and had some experience but was unsure how women's games went at the college level. There was some knowledge I was able to share to help out with possible promotions for the home games. I helped out with some game preparations for the men's game later that evening. For the game I worked with promotions and pregame activities. For the last few men's games during the player introductions we have turned off the lights and turned on spot lights to create a exciting atmosphere for the players and fans and helped out with that. The promotions coordinator that usually announces contests during the game left early because she was sick. The game was poorly attended so we canceled contests during the first half. We held a raffle for a fan to compete in a halftime contest to win two tickets to a Cincinnati Reds game in April. Since the promotions coordinator was gone the responsibility fell upon me to announce the contest and introduce the contestant. The contest was to make a lay-up, a free-throw, and a three point shot. We didn't hold any contests during the second half because of the low attendance. I helped with music during game breaks for the rest of the game.
