Marked by Service
Our students are encouraged to create ways to further the cause of Christ in and through sport. Sports are such an amazing activity with which we can engage and impact the lives of so many people; the students continually seek ways to incorporate their faith into their careers. Sport managers are truly given the opportunity to lead others with a servant's mindset. It is our daily task to plan, build, and administrate sports programs that are aimed at giving others the opportunity to enjoy the games that we love.
The sport industry is fast-moving and always growing. Those who want to get on the bandwagon and excel in this industry need to be well-equipped to ensure their success.
