In conjunction with the University of Maryland, the University of
Memphis is once again offering the 'Sport & Culture in the Global
Marketplace' Study Abroad program in London, England, July 16-29, 2006.
In addition to formal academic lectures and readings pertaining to
various aspects of producing, consuming, and managing sport in a global
setting, the course features addresses from and discussions with
industry executives and 'behind the scenes' tours. Students can earn 6
credits (2 courses) for participating in the program (and some former
students have even gone on to gain positions at the organizations that
we visit!)
A major reason for the success of the program in previous years has been
the diversity of students that have participated from different
universities across North America, including Arkansas State, Clemson,
George Washington, Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Maryland, Mount Union,
Rice, San Francisco, Towson, and Windsor. I am hoping that you would be
willing to publicize the program among folks that might be interested at
your institution. If you could post details, and/or contact
directly any students that you feel may find this program interesting, I
would be most appreciative. Please have anybody that would like more
information to contact me directly, or visit the website,
http://hss.memphis.edu/london2006. There are also quotes from past
students and photos from previous trips on the website.
Best wishes,
John
