Gehrig Booth, 2025

My Capstone Experience - Business Project required me to research Temple University's Women's Rowing Team and its recent seasons. The media guides here have yet to be updated since 2019, so I was tasked with creating a media guide highlighting each of these lost seasons. This project required me to keep in contact with people on Temple's rowing staff, research the sport of rowing, and understand how to find obscure statistics that were needed for this specific media guide. Overall, I learned a lot from this project, such as information about Temple, the sport of rowing, and even rivers and lakes where rowing events were held. This project also taught me how to manage time and conduct research, which will be very important in my future.
