WVU Tech Sport Management Students Present at SHAPEWV Conference

In October 2021, four students from WVU Tech had the honor of presenting at the SHAPEWV Conference. The conference, held annually, was held online this year with the theme: Remembering Our Past While Looking to Our Future. The four students, all Sport Management Majors, are all from the region, and were excited to have the opportunity to present.

The four presenters were assisted by Caroline McKelvie, a fourth year visiting instructor in the Sport and Recreation department at WVU Tech. Stephen Bjork, a senior and member of the WVU Tech baseball team, Spencer Dean, a senior and former member of the WVU Tech men’s basketball team, Kobe Rozell, a junior and member of the WVU Tech men’s basketball team and Gunner Short, a junior and member of the WVU Tech men’s basketball team were enthusiastic about being able to present on the state level.  Their presentation, titled “WVU Tech Sport Management Student Perspective: A Discussion on the Current Issues Impacting Sport and Society” allowed them to reflect on topics that they have studied in their coursework at WVU Tech.

Caroline McKelvie was excited that her students were selected to present, as it has been several years since a group of students from WVU Tech were chosen to present.
