Brother Garret Bolton Shares His Internship Experience
During winter break, Garret Bolton, South Carolina ’25, majoring in sport and entertainment management at the University of South Carolina, embodied Phi Delta Theta’s commitment to Sound Learning and personal growth by taking on an extraordinary internship opportunity. A proud Phi Delt brother, Garret served as a Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl Intern, gaining invaluable hands-on experience with one of the world’s most iconic organizations—the New York Yankees.
The Pinstripe Bowl, an annual college bowl game held at Yankee Stadium, showcased the University of Nebraska and Boston College in this year’s exciting matchup. Garret joined a team of fifteen dedicated interns, each contributing to the seamless execution of the event. Garret’s responsibilities went far beyond the field, as he facilitated key events across New York City, ensuring memorable experiences for participants and attendees alike.
Some of his standout contributions included coordinating logistics for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, overseeing visits to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, and managing the prestigious ringing of the New York Stock Exchange Opening Bell. On game day, Garret took on the vital role of escorting team bands onto the field for the National Anthem and halftime performance—moments that brought energy and spirit to the game. Following the matchup, he assisted with the presentation of the George M. Steinbrenner Trophy, capping off an unforgettable event.
Reflecting on his experience, Garret expressed gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with a world-renowned organization and to contribute to the success of such a high-profile event. “It was a unique opportunity to witness the behind-the-scenes effort required to deliver an exceptional experience for fans, athletes, and stakeholders alike,” he shared.
As Garret enters his final semester, his focus on Sound Learning continues to guide his journey. This spring, he will embark on a full-time internship in the Events Department at Colonial Life Arena, furthering his skills in the world of sports and entertainment management.
