Kenny Anhalt ’14, ESPN

Through the Princetern­ship pro­gram I had the priv­i­lege of shad­ow­ing Bryce Gama, a direc­tor of Busi­ness Strat­egy at The Walt Dis­ney Company’s ESPN. From the out­set Bryce was extremely warm and infor­ma­tive. He wel­comed me to join him in sev­eral meet­ings, pro­vid­ing back­ground infor­ma­tion as needed and care­fully explain­ing answers to each of my ques­tions. Through­out the day I was intro­duced to many of Bryce’s cowork­ers, who gen­er­ously dis­cussed why they find their jobs ful­fill­ing. My learn­ing dur­ing the expe­ri­ence was qual­i­ta­tively unique in that I gained infor­ma­tion that can­not sim­ply be found on a web­site. By spend­ing time in Bryce’s office envi­ron­ment I wit­nessed the idio­syn­cratic atmos­phere of The Walt Dis­ney Com­pany. Thus, by expos­ing stu­dents to open pro­fes­sion­als in their every­day work­space, the Princetern­ship pro­gram pro­vides a phe­nom­e­nal oppor­tu­nity for Prince­ton under­grad­u­ates to learn about a career they hope to pursue.
