What PROFESSORS AND STUDENTS Are Saying

"My students were blessed to have Marquise Watson speak to our students. Marquise was a source of motivation and inspiration for our students. Marquise gave them valuable industry insights, career advice, the importance of grinding, the value of networking, getting experience wherever you can, and the importance of "Access, Information, and Representation. You are the creator of your own brand and your "Name" is one of the most valuable assets you'll ever own. He even gave a lesson on how to create a proper LinkedIn page! We were very blessed and thankful for his time today."

Professor, Jason Hughes | Elizabeth City State University

This was simply one of the best guest presentations I have seen in my time in higher ed. The enthusiasm, energy, and insightfulness were stellar. In my opinion, Marquise has some of the most powerful skills it takes to be an impactful educator. Your obvious commitment to service, being a "doer" and connector are also key attributes that will make [him] successful in his career."

Dr. Julie Lanzillo | Drexel University | Associate Dean, School of Business

"Thank you to Marquise Watson for speaking with my freshmen Sport Management Students at the University of New Haven. We greatly appreciate his insight regarding his career and how it translates to what students can do NOW to prepare for the industry. Such important advice for aspiring young professionals. Know Thyself!"

Professor Kim Mahoney | University of New Haven

"Our final class assignment was to rank our guest speakers for the semester. Marquise BY FARRRRR ran away as the most popular speaker. Every response I got has his name in it and the students reflecting on his speech. They absolutely loved him. By far their favorite speaker. Not even close."

Professor Lawrence Cohen | Drexel University

Reviews

  • "There have been a few guests which the Sport Management Professors have brought in before, but none that had such an immediate impact on me like Marquise. Just from the two hours that Marquise was here, he spoke the facts that I needed to hear. I have sometimes taken for granted things like teachers office hours or the career service center, but never realized how useful they can be. I made a promise to myself from that day forward that I would use all resources that my campus has to provide."

  • "I really loved his points on what we can do now with access, information, and representation. Creating a professional identity is now one of my biggest focuses."

  • "This was the most thought-provoking and useful presentation that I've had in my 4 years here at Drexel. I will take on the multitude of points you made to help better myself, my career, and resume for my future. I really appreciate the non-conventional nature of your presentation."

    —Student, East Stroudsburg University

  • "I was inspired by his knowledge and dedication, and how he's taken advantage of every opportunity he's been given to excel. The conversation we had was really encouraging- especially when we began speaking about Social Capital, Networking/Relationships, Intrinsic Motivation, and how to stand out in a crowd of people who all want the same thing. Our talk came in a pivotal time in my life and I'm truly grateful that he's given me those golden nuggets of wisdom and insight into the world of Sports Management."

    — Student, University of New Haven

  • "After speaking to my class, I have become secretary of our Sport management Club and have gotten so involved with the department after his talk. Thank you for inspiring me to get involved with the sport management department, which so quickly became very important to me." t Item
