Center for Sport Leadership at VCU
The Center for Sport Leadership at VCU was developed with the idea of creating an innovative, practical learning environment that would prepare students for a successful career in the sport industry. This new educational paradigm teaches students the necessary skills, while giving them ownership of operational responsibility to the organization and providing access to upper-level administrators and coaches. The Center for Sport Leadership has placed students in every area of the industry, including professional, intercollegiate, Olympic, nonprofit and grassroots organizations. These successful alumni provide a useful tool in establishing a network base for connecting with future leaders in the industry.
