Tammy Crawford, a clinical assistant professor in sport management, will speak in the second Sport Management Research Meeting of the Fall 2018 semester. Her presentation, “The adjustment of international student-athletes to intercollegiate sport and higher education in America,” will occur 5-6 p.m. on Wednesday, February 14, in Cleveland Hall 255 in Pullman.
During the 2016/17 academic year, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) reported that 16,765 international student athletes represented U.S. colleges and universities in intercollegiate competition; 5.3% of all Division-I athletes were international students. This presentation will outline a proposed study intended to examine the experiences and perceptions of international student-athletes as they adjust to intercollegiate sport and the environment of U.S. higher education.
Sport Management Research Meetings are organized by the Sport Management program at Washington State University. They occur monthly and feature faculty and student presentations of ongoing and completed research projects. Students and faculty from all programs are welcome to attend.
Future meetings this semester are scheduled for March 7 and and April 11. A video archive of past presentations can be accessed here.
