Kinesiology 4517: Sports Administration

This course is designated as a service-learning course designed to expose students to real-world application and a "hands-on" learning experience. This experience will include the management functions of planning and organizing and the human side of administration with regard to motivation and performance, the communication process and managing conflict and stress. Specifically, the service engagement will involve working with Louisiana Senior Olympic Games (LSOG) in conjunction with the annual State Games. LSOG is a non-profit organization and this work will expose students to the realities of community service (limited resources, volunteerism, etc.) and to community needs within a specific population.
