Ernest Scarborough (Subscription Representative, The Kennedy Center)

“As a Subscription Representative I am responsible for working with all aspects of administering and fulfilling various types of subscription packages while catering to 30,000+ subscribers.  Responsibilities include ticket packages for numerous programs including the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, theater, ballet, contemporary dance, jazz, family programming as well as any other subscription series under the aegis of the Kennedy Center.”

 “My time spent in the Theater Department at Centenary University prepared me not only on the administrative side, but also showed me the potential inside of me by providing me the opportunity to work and be a part of a community of industrious and experienced professionals that helped me understand that dreaming of being employed at The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was not too lofty a goal or aspiration. I learned that I could and should strive for excellence in my field and that it is just as important what you know and the knowledge you have, as it is the type of the person you are and what you represent. My time spent at Centenary University and in the Theater Department allowed me to envision who I was and who I could become, and that is what laid the foundation for the path that I used to enable me to walk into the front doors of a job that I love every day.”
