Alli Slater, Director of Game Operations & Championships for Duke Athletics, developed a passion for sports at an early age. That passion eventually drove her to seek out a career in the sports world while pursuing her undergraduate degree at Townson University in Maryland. It was there that Slater was exposed to athletics event management that set in motion her journey to Durham.
In her role at Duke, Slater oversees a wide range of game day operations for sports that occur in Cameron Indoor Stadium. This includes aspects such parking, directing fans into the stadium and serving as the primary point of contact for officials and teams once a game is underway.
Currently in her fourth basketball season at Duke, the magic of stepping inside Cameron each day for work is not lost on Slater.
"We are very lucky to work at Duke in terms of the athletic scene,” she said.
