Sport management students get their game on | Orchard Guitar Festival debuts Oct. 3

Sport management students provide assistance on game day.

SPORT MANAGEMENT STUDENTS EXPERIENCE GAME DAY IN A WHOLE NEW WAY

The sport management program at BGSU has a long-standing tradition of excellence. The program is the largest and most diverse in the country, and students come from all over the United States to study at BGSU. Faculty are further enhancing classroom learning by finding new ways to offer additional field experience for their students, making them more attractive candidates to employers.

Dr. Amanda Paule-Koba, associate professor of sport management, is providing the students in her Sport and Event Management class a unique experience this semester. Her students will assist with game day at various athletics events at BGSU. This collaboration with the athletics department is a win-win for both sides, Paule-Koba said: The students are able to learn in a lab-like setting and the athletics department gains additional staff to enhance the game day experiences for fans.

A legacy of connection and strength

It's been 20 years since the BGSU Retirees Association was founded. The group commemorated the occasion at its September meeting by honoring the founding board members, several represented by surviving spouses and children. President Mary Ellen Mazey was the guest speaker for the luncheon meeting. BGSU retired faculty and staff continue to play an important role in the life of the University, and are dedicated supporters.
