<\/a>Tatyana Da Silva \u201928 is one such student leader on campus. As a communications major with a\u00a0 double minor in journalism and sports management, Da Silva was instrumental in the creation of the Sports Business Club, where she now serves as president. At the urging of Alexander Sepulveda, J.D., professor and director of sports management, she started the process to create the club on campus. It was formally approved and launched in December 2025.<\/p>\nProfessor Sepulveda saw her ambition and desire to broaden her experience in sports broadcasting, so Da Silva got to work!<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it would be such a great opportunity for students on campus who want to study sports,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
The club, which meets weekly, is also for those interested in journalism, equipment management, coaching and any other aligned interest in the sports industry. Along with her leading the club, she also manages her own sports content creation platforms. She hopes that practicing in the space, showcasing her skills and building a name for herself shows future employers that she\u2019s serious about a career in sports broadcasting and what she was able to do early on.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dream job is to work for the Yankees.\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Da Silva\u2019s ambition runs deep, starting dance at the age of three, with volleyball and soccer not following far behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want it, go for it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
But that doesn\u2019t mean she dims the light on others. This month, she wants to celebrate the other women student leaders on campus and the women in her family who inspire her always.<\/p>\n
Ultimately though, it\u2019s the lessons from her parents that continue to inspire her. \u201cMy dad and my mom always say they want me to do better than them for myself, but I take that as I\u2019m going to do better for you. I want to take care of you. I want to do this to make you proud.\u201d<\/p>\n
Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s is proud to celebrate Women\u2019s History Month. More feature stories on other women leaders on campus coming soon.<\/p>\n
