Speaker Series  Sport Management
A major component of Fisher’s rounded curriculum is to bring together our students with active members of the sport industry. This has been accomplished through our Speakers Series which consists of periodic lectures from industry practitioners. These events provide students with firsthand accounts from experts shaping the industry they are aspiring to enter. Also, this series is an opportunity for Sport Management graduates to return to campus to discuss their trials and tribulations, experiences, successes and words of wisdom. Each year groups of alumni come back to Fisher in a roundtable format where students ask questions of the panelists and engage them informally in one-on-one dialogue.
