49ers Internship Program
Pacific students Miles Ryan ’26 and Juliana Alexander ’24, ’27 have been selected for the highly competitive San Francisco 49ers internship program, joining 18 interns chosen for the nine-month experience. Ryan will support partnership marketing initiatives, while Alexander will work in engagement marketing, contributing to fan engagement, event planning and game-day operations.
Data Project Collaboration
Five students in Pacific’s Master of Science in Data Science program partnered with the San Francisco 49ers as student consultants, analyzing nearly nine million rows of game-day transaction data from Levi’s Stadium across multiple seasons. Their work focused on identifying patterns in concession sales, revenue trends and fan adoption of the stadium’s Scan & Pay mobile payment system.
Micro Internships
Over spring break, three Pacific students stepped inside the business operations of the San Francisco 49ers, tackling real-world projects that will help shape the team’s global strategy. They analyzed fan engagement trends, both in the U.S. and globally, and turned their research into data-driven recommendations to help support the team’s international marketing strategy ahead of upcoming NFL games abroad.
Students at the Stadium
More than 200 college students across Northern California came together for a day of career development and exploration at Levi's Stadium. Nearly 50 Pacific students took part in the experience, hearing directly from 49ers staff and executive leadership about their career paths, day-to-day work and what it takes to succeed in the sports industry.
Culture Day
Students from Pacific’s Stockton and Sacramento campuses spent a day at Levi’s Stadium for the inaugural Culture Day, an immersive experience centered on identity, personal branding and building confidence. Through interactive workshops and panel discussions, students learned how to present themselves authentically, build meaningful connections and thrive in professional environments.
