NSU Horizons Spring 2017

6 NSU HORIZONS The Miami Dolphins play at the Hard Rock Stadium NSU/FINS SCORE In addition to the tickets and high-energy tailgating, other elements are in the pipeline. Two NSU students will receive summer internships with the NFL team, and a lecture series about careers in sports began in March. Other synergies are also planned. “While ‘Fins Football’ delivers a new fan experience for NSU students, it also provides enriched experiences in the areas of career development and community service,” said Fisher. The new Dolphins-NSU relationship came just in time for Alyssa Biestek. She attended two games, but one was very special. “I brought my mother down from Connect- icut for a game. It was great; we loved the tailgate and playing Jenga and Cornhole.” That was pretty cool in itself, but also, “it was my birthday,” said Biestek, who is studying marriage and family therapy. The games are good therapy, and “a break from studying. Definitely, it’s a great experience,” said Biestek, who also is a graduate assistant for student and staff development and academic initiative.
