As he entered business courses at the college, he heightened upon his interests in both sports and business with the plan of making it his major.

“I had an idea of going into the Business department because I’ve always been interested in lead management and how to lead different people,” 他说. “我知道我一直想要 to connect my career with sports and media.”

沟通的同时 & Media Studies (CMS) major department was not fully formed, 艾伦 took advantage of everything that the Business department and the rest of the campus had to offer, from accepting a Hearst Television Corporation Internship in New York City to joining a number of different clubs, such as 黑人学生会 (BSU) and the Student Athlete Advisory Council.

“I am happy about is that I tried new things on campus and that allowed me to make more connections, such as clubs, on campus organizations, and attending different 事件，”艾伦说.
