Master’s Monday spotlight: M.S. in Sport Management 🎓

Today’s Master’s Monday took us to Penny Hall, so we’re putting the spotlight on a graduate program from the Conway Medical Center College of Health and Human Performance.

The M.S. in Sport Management offers students an opportunity to take their interest in sport to the graduate level while preparing for the next step in their professional journey.

Keep following along as Master’s Monday highlights another graduate program next week.

Yesterday, Dr. Fredanna McGough, interim dean of The Graduate School, participated in the Celebration of Scholarship hosted by University Libraries and The Office of Research.

The Celebration of Scholarship gives students an opportunity to explore faculty research through poster presentations and readings, connect with colleagues, and experience the innovative research happening across our campus.

Dr. McGough’s poster presentation was on her research titled Personal and Communal Responsibility to Mitigate COVID-19 Spread on a University Campus.

Published this past January, the article, co-authored by Paul E. Richardson, Lindsey R. Bell, and Michelle M. Bartley, uses the Health Belief Model (HBM) to explore how personal and communal responsibility influenced COVID-19 spread on a university campus by comparing HBM attitudes with mitigating behaviors (hand washing, face coverings. and social and physical distancing).

Thank you to Dr. Sheena Kauppila (Spadoni College of Education and Social Sciences) and Dr. Sangeeta Saxena (Conway Medical Center College of Health and Human Performance) for joining us today as the first two presenters for our new Spill the Tea on Graduate Research series.

Dr. Kauppila’s discussion focused on data collection methods and how to maintain/ensure the integrity of data. The presentation emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of collected data, particularly in surveys and online research where bots and fraudulent responses can compromise results.

Dr. Saxena discussed systematic reviews as a type of rigorous research methodology that leverages existing published data to answer focused research questions. Systematic reviews provide a valuable alternative when collecting primary data is difficult, costly, or limited by access to participants.

Great work by these two graduate program coordinators!
