Despite all the sorrows about losing the Rams to Los Angeles and dreams unfulfilled of the Atlanta Hawks returning home to the land of the Arch, we still have two professional sports teams. We should be grateful. We should take pride in our Blues.

Welcome back, everyone; we hope you enjoyed your breaks and are settling in to your new semester nicely. But as much as the spring semester is a new start, even freshmen have been on campus for four months now, and our guess is that a majority of you 2016ers are still somewhat trapped inside the Wash. U. bubble.

Wash. U. alumnus Jeff Lesser talked with the Olin Sports Management Organization and the Olin Business Council on Friday about how he found his current job with the St. Louis Blues. Student Life spoke with Lesser about working for a professional sports team, something he called a “dream job”; the Blues; and the sports industry.
