We seek high-achieving students who have a passion or significant interest in the intersection of global sports, entertainment, business, technology, social media, and design. This unique, one-of-a-kind program will be delivered by a cohort of exceptional students who will engage in weekly meetups, skill development courses, and collaborative teamwork to design proposals and create value propositions for actual Crave Global clients. Competitive selection begins immediately.

The program will focus on career readiness and the growth of core competencies and skills that differentiate students from peers on college applications or on resumes, including:

• technology literacy
• creativity
• collaboration
• critical thinking
• cross-cultural fluency

Students will be exposed to a wide range of eye-opening experiences with an agenda comprising interactive project-based activities; teaching, training, and guest lectures from industry professionals, university professors, alumni, and current students in the areas of data science, sports analytics, technology, and hospitality management; and design, production and research activities. 

From the web to mobile, email to apps, social media, and user-generated content, the digital marketing portion of the course will develop a strategic framework for planning and analyzing digital marketing strategies. Students will leave the course with a working knowledge of the tools and processes for creating, managing, and executing digital marketing plans. 

This will also include the range of digital advertising and marketing channels as well as touch upon new and emerging channels and developments.
