Corvallis Announces Merchandise Team

Corvallis Knights GM Bre Kerkvliet announced the team's lineup of merchandise interns for the 2014 season including Joe Jaeger, Jessica Frye, Alexa Chappell and Veronica Carava (pictured, l-r).

"We are very excited to have another awesome group of students who are eager to join the hometown team," Kerkvliet said. "They will get an opportunity to help design, market and sell our new merchandise for the 2014 season."

Merchandise interns organize and set up the displays; order and inventory merchandise, and process all transactions.

"Having our interns involved in all levels has generated a fresh, new approach to our merchandising process," Kerkvliet added. "They bring creativity and a trendier, hipper style that is more appealing to our fans."

Past merchandise interns have gone on to full-time jobs with Burlington Coat Factory, the Portland Timbers, Adidas, the Inkwell, and other businesses.
