Sport Management

The Elon alumnus has always had a knack for producing high-quality sports video content. This week, the cinema and television arts major will continue to do so at the College Football Playoff National Championship in Atlanta.

In recognition of their exceptional academic performances and involvement in professional development activities related to the sport industry, 10 sport management majors will be honored in February.

Led by faculty members David Bockino, Colin Donohue and Staci Saltz, 45 first-year Communications Fellows traveled to Charlotte in November, visiting WSOC-TV, Pillar4 Media and NASCAR’s headquarters, and connecting with alumni working in the Queen City.

Six students were awarded funds for the Elon University Queen City Internship Grant.

As part of their Event and Venue Management class, and in collaboration with the Charlotte Knights and the Matthews Help Center, students organized a youth sports gear drive during the Light the Knights festival at Truist Field.

Ryan Harper ’25, Tess Hawthorne ’25 and Cierra Hopson ’25 lead the way as the first Elon University students to earn Advanced Data Competency Badges from Data Nexus, showcasing their exceptional skills in data analysis, interpretation and application in the workforce.

Hosted in conjunction with the Department of Sport Management, the Nov. 8 event brought together students, faculty and industry professionals to discuss critical issues and insights through engaging networking sessions, classroom visits, and an afternoon panel in Turner Theatre.

The associate professor of sport management served as a guest editor for the scholarly, peer-reviewed publication of the NIRSA Foundation.
