Sport Management Student Clubs
The Sport Management Department at the Isenberg School has developed three organizations that present students with a variety of leadership opportunities in our community. Whether it is developing a Sport Managment Student Conference, coordinating a guest speaker event, or volunteering within the surrounding community, our students gain valuable experiences that enable them to become responsible Sport Management leaders. Each student organization is paired with a faculty advisor and receives full support from the entire Sport Management Department.
Meetings for each of the student organizations are posted on our plasma screens located in the Atrium of the Isenberg School of Management. Students are strongly encouraged to become involved. Start by exploring the clubs below.
Women in Sport Management (WISM)
Women in Sport Management is a club designed and inspired by women in the major. Each year members are responsible for sponsoring a workshop for women that includes special guest speakers who are experts in their field. This yearly workshop provides insight, encouragement, and network opportunities to BS and MS women candidates in the program as well as other women on campus. WISM also unites women sport managers outside of the classroom environment.
ADS: Associationof Diversity in Sport
The Association of Sport Management Professionals of Color is for all students of color in the program as well as for those students of color on campus aspiring to become Sport Management majors.
The only club of its kind in the country, ASMPC organizes community service outreach opportunities providing student members with hands-on managerial experience. The club also provides support for other ALANA undergraduates on campus by focusing on issues facing under-represented populations in sports.
UMASSM: University of Massachusetts Association of Student Sport Managers
The UMASS Association of Student Sports Managers (UMASSM) is the largest sport management club in the country with over 50 members including sport management majors and students from other majors on campus. UMASSM members coordinate workshops and career fairs, inviting selected alumni from the industry who are professionals and experts in their field. It is one of the best networking opportunities for students wanting to get into the major as well. The club (as well as WISM and ADS) assists student members with resume writing, interview and communication skills.
