The puck dropped on a two-year partnership between Ramapo College of New Jersey and New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center, scoring big opportunities for students to gain meaningful professional and educational experiences with two of the most innovative and influential organizations in New Jersey.
The partnership includes Ramapo College students participating in a shadow program with the Devils Hockey Network radio broadcast team led by Matt Loughlin and Chico Resch during select New Jersey Devils home games. Ramapo College students, like Jessica Pawlik ‘26, a marketing major and sports management minor in the Anisfield School of Business, enjoyed such an opportunity last spring. “I truly gained so much from this shadowing experience and am extremely grateful that Ramapo gave me this opportunity. This experience allowed me to network professionally, explore different career options, and witness first hand all that goes into the workings behind the Devils.” Additional shadowing opportunities will be available for students during the 2024-2025 season.
“At Ramapo, we know that learning should be as rigorous as it is engaging,” said Ramapo College President Cindy Jebb. “By learning from and working alongside the digital network broadcasting and leadership teams of the New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center, our students will gain valuable experience in the sports media industry. And, in turn, NJ Devils and Prudential Center employees will have the great fortune to work with and mentor our talented students.”
