Tepper Sports & Entertainment’s Black Employee Resource Group, STRIDE, hosted local Black changemakers, business and community leaders from across the Carolinas in a private suite to network, celebrate each other and enjoy the Charlotte FC match. This celebratory experience honored the dedication and contributions of the Black community, solidifying STRIDE's commitment to building a more inclusive future.

“There are no words to adequately express how incredible this inaugural class is and how much this group means to me, my family, and so many others. David and I have always been passionate about higher education and particularly about extending education resources and avenues to the best and brightest. We are so proud to support the next generation of leaders across the sport and entertainment management landscape, fostering their enthusiasm for learning and helping them to prepare for future careers in this competitive, rewarding field.”     On Friday, Nicole Tepper spoke in front of approximately 400 graduates and guests at the University of South Carolina College of Hospitality, Retail and Sport Management (HRSM) Hooding and Cording Ceremony. The group included the inaugural graduating class of Tepper Scholars. Since 2020, the Tepper Scholars Program has awarded merit-based four-year scholarships to four incoming sport and entertainment management freshmen each year at the University of South Carolina. In addition, program participants receive ongoing personal mentorship from Nicole Tepper and team executives, hands-on internship opportunities with Tepper Sports & Entertainment through the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC organizations, and other exclusive enrichment opportunities. Read more about Friday’s event and the inaugural class of Tepper Scholars:
