“It’s a huge commute, but I’ve got to sacrifice everything I’ve got,” he said. “It’s always been a dream of mine to work in the NFL or professional sports.”Dorn, who is working in the Bears ticket office, staffed the team’s preseason home games and now has his first regular-season game under his belt. He was at Soldier Field for the season-opening loss to Green Bay.
In his role with the Bears, Dorn ensures fans get into the stadium. At Monmouth, he’s a communication studies and public relations double major.“I do their game day ticket operations,” he said. “I get there before the gates open, but I’m not at the ticket window. If people have trouble with their tickets, that’s when I get involved.”“It’s been a great experience so far,” he said. “I’m excited for the future and what’s going to happen after this.
A member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, Dorn serves as the president of Interfraternity Council. Earlier this year, he received the College’s Emerging Leader Award, which recognizes a student who has demonstrated significant potential for success through involvement in their community and has exemplified personal growth and exploration of the unfamiliar.
