College of Health and Human Performance’s new departments, chairs

With the new school year on the horizon, the College of Health & Human Performance (HHP) has formed two new departments: the Department of Sport Management and the Department of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management.

With this new formation, HHP will officially dissolve the Department of Tourism, Recreation and Sport Management. The creation of two individual departments will allow faculty to focus on specific research and teaching within each of their disciplines.

Michael Sagas, professor in sport management, will serve as interim chair of the Department of Sport Management, and Stephen Dodd, professor in applied physiology and kinesiology, will serve as interim chair of the Department of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management.
