Meet this spring’s college commencement speaker: sport management major Isis Stamm.
A soon-to-be #NCState 26 alumna, Isis is turning her passion for sports into a career in athletics. During her journey at NC State, she worked as a recruiting intern for NC State Football (@packathletics), supporting recruiting operations, coordinating visits and assisting with event execution. She also served as a club lacrosse operations assistant, gaining experience in team logistics.
Outside of NC State Athletics, Isis has been an active member of the Women in Sport Club (@womeninsportncsu), and she also worked as a student marketeer with Red Bull.
After graduation, Stamm plans to continue working in her current role with NC State Football’s recruiting department, further developing her experience in collegiate athletics while pursuing future opportunities in football operations.
“One of the most meaningful aspects of my academic experience has been courses that focused on the operations and management side of sports. These classes allowed me to connect what I was learning in the classroom to my hands-on experiences in athletics.
Being able to apply real-world scenarios to coursework helped reinforce my understanding and gave me confidence in my ability to succeed in the industry. It also helped me better understand the strategic and business side of sports beyond what is visible on the surface.” —@isstamm

Meet Kate Creech, a soon-to-be #NCState26 graduate majoring in parks, recreation and tourism management. 🎓 🐾

After graduation, Kate looks forward to working in the hospitality industry, specifically in hotel sales. She hopes to gain experience building relationships with various customer groups and creating memorable guest experiences.
One of her favorite memories at NC State is running to the Belltower after the NC State men’s and women’s basketball teams advanced to the Final Four in 2024. “The energy on campus was unforgettable, and celebrating with thousands of other students made it such a special moment.”
Her biggest piece of advice for students entering parks, recreation and tourism management?
“There are so many different opportunities within the parks, recreation and tourism management major, and you’ll meet people with a wide range of interests and career goals. Try as many things as possible early on, and talk to as many people as you can.
Get involved with clubs, internships, intramural sports, and campus events that help you explore different areas of interest. You will figure out what excites you the most by doing, so take advantage of the resources in CNR, NC State, and your peers to lead you exactly where you need to go.” —@katecreechh

"Together, these past four years, we have learned side by side, whether in lecture halls, Schenk Forest, Rocky Branch, or even Carter-Finley Stadium. Through the small and big moments, we grew into capable, intelligent individuals. Where my capabilities might be stretched to their limits and fall short, I know others can pick up the slack.
Together, we will contribute to a future to be proud of. Even if you feel lost now, I know that the best will come your way if you keep searching for it. Do not underestimate what we have learned at this institution. We are the future, and the future is bright."
