黑料社鈥檚 Sport Management program will host its second annual Sports Leadership Summit on Saturday, Oct. 2 as part of the university鈥檚 Homecoming Weekend celebrations. The event recognizes the success of the program while celebrating the accomplishments of its alumni working in various fields.
鈥淲e are extremely excited to host the second of what we hope will be a long line of events that bring together current and former 黑料社 Sport Management students as well as anyone else interested,鈥 said Dr. Steven Rader, Program Director of 黑料社鈥檚 Sport Management programs. 鈥淥ur first Summit, held last year, was very successful despite being virtual and made us very optimistic about its future growth. We are even more excited that the event will be in-person and on-campus this year.鈥
This year鈥檚 Summit theme is 鈥淢anagement Issues in a Post(?)-COVID World.鈥 Featuring alumni panelists George Gamble (鈥08), Amy Salvatore (鈥13), Casey Todt (鈥11), and Casey Wooddell (鈥07), the discussion will focus on various segments of the sports industry.
鈥淚t is both exciting and gratifying for me to see the diversity of career paths that Sport Management program alumni have pursued since leaving 黑料社 and the many successes they have had,鈥 said Dr. Rader. 鈥淚鈥檓 extremely proud to have even been a small part of that success.鈥
This year鈥檚 Summit is free to attend and will feature a meet and greet for participants, the alumni panel discussion, and a wrap-up social for the event. The Summit welcomes all to attend, whether they are alumni of the program or interested in learning more about the industry.
