The School of Communications hosted its first-ever trivia contest for members of the Communications Fellows program, testing the students’ knowledge of the Tar Heel state, pop culture and other fun facts.

The fourth annual event, held at Elon University’s School of Communications, will explore the theme of “Sport Sponsorship and Branding in the Digital Age,” and features two panel discussions delving into technology and social media use, as well as how college athletes are leveraging their name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights.

The Winter Term course exposed the Fellows to different communications industries and promoted bonding among the first-year cohort.

Coordinated by Associated Professor of Sport Management Shaina Dabbs, nearly 30 students assisted with game-day operations, on-court promotions and other tournament festivities during the five-day competition.

With the competition of its accreditation and self-study process, Elon University is one of 35 accredited programs in the U.S. recognized by the Commission of Sport Management Accreditation.

Elon alumni rise to the challenge every day in many ways, but MacLean is reaching new heights, quite literally with her travel agency, Venture Patagonia, based in Puerto Natales, Chile that prides itself on cultural immersion and life-changing experiences.

Erin Hone, Tony Rizzuto, Khirey Walker and Scott Wolter talk about their Elon experiences as students and now as faculty members.

Elon alumnus Erik Kendall ’11 and Assistant Professor Max Negin received a regional Emmy Award last year for their work with the Charlotte Hornets – and have already garnered another Emmy nomination this winter.

Associate Professor David Bockino and 19 students in his Through the Lens of ESPN class enjoyed an in-depth tour during Winter Term of Argentina and Uruguay, exploring athletic venues, national media outlets, and the importance of soccer in South American culture.

The assistant professor in the Sport Management Department was named to the authority’s nominating committee, which recommends candidates for the organization’s board.
