Warsaw Sports Business Center

We are excited to announce a change as we build on our past and look to the future: The Warsaw Sports Marketing Center is now the Warsaw Sports Business Center!

We've always been about more than marketing, and the name change better reflects how the center connects students directly to the sports business industry in a real, ever-evolving way.

Warsaw Ducks are everywhere, both in the front and back offices of traditional sports like basketball and soccer, but also leading emerging opportunities like eSports and women's sports. The center's name now aligns with the amazing work our alumni, students, faculty, and staff do every day. Read more at https://business.uoregon.edu/news/we-are-warsaw
