“So, you want to work in sport and recreation?” will inform students of the concentration areas within the Sport and Recreation Management curriculum. From this information, students will learn of positions held by professionals working within sport and recreation. As a result, students will be able to make informed curricular, extracurricular, and co-curricular choices that position them for success within the sport and recreation industry after graduation.
