Two graduates of the George Washington University School of Business sport management program have made their goals of working in professional sports a reality, right here in D.C. at Nationals Park.
Peter Lavan, M.S. ’25, and Jay Khurana, B.S. ’25, managed to turn their love of sports into careers by gaining valuable experiences through internships and making connections during their time at GW. The sport management program was recently ranked the fifth best in the world by SportsBusiness.
Lavan said he has loved sports for as long as he can remember, appreciating the way going to a game can bring people together. Some of his favorite childhood memories were spent at ballparks, and now that he works in the industry, he’s excited to help create those same meaningful experiences for others.
"It's something that every kid is going to remember," Lavan said. “I think that always drives you, because then you can think of how that impacted you as a kid, you can do that for someone else in the future."
