Kinesiology News Among the Best in the World Recent rankings have proven what those who work in the Master of Human Kinetics program in sport management have quietly known all along: their’s is among the best in the world. Mike Thompson stands in the players’ bench at the Air Canada Centre. A graduate of the MHK program in sport management, he’s now the coordinator of fan services for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. The program, with six faculty members and an average of about 15 to 20 graduate students a year, was recently ranked in third place worldwide by the SportBusiness International 2012 Postgraduate Sports Course Guide. Kinesiology professor Jess Dixon said considering that UWindsor is on the same list as firstplace Ohio University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst—which he says are two of the most highlyregarded schools in the world for post graduate sports management programs— his department, and the entire campus, should be extremely honoured. “To be in the company of those two schools alone is very impressive,” said Dr. Dixon, who earned his own PhD at U-Mass. “I’m very proud of these rankings.” Jess said a major contributing factor to scoring so high on that list was the fact that 85 percent of the program’s grads find jobs in their field. Mike Thompson, who graduated from the program in 2010, landed the job of his dreams as coordinator of fan services for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, owners of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Raptors, the Toronto Marlies and the Toronto F.C. soccer team. Also a graduate of the Odette School of Business, he said he was thrilled to hear about the award, but not necessarily surprised. “It’s a department that really cares about its students and what they do when they graduate,” said Mike, who oversees a staff of 25 people devoted to ensuring fans have a top-notch experience when they attend any of the company’s venues, which include the Air Canada Centre, BMO Field and the Ricoh Coliseum. An Oshawa native, Mike scored a placement working with the communications department for the Toronto Blue Jays while still a student under Jess’ tutelage. He supported baseball writers in the press box, providing them with creative games notes, lineups and other team information. “When I was working with the Blue Jays it never felt like work and it still doesn’t now that I’m here at Maple Leaf Sports,” he said. However, professional sports teams aren’t the only places the program’s grads can find employment, Jess said. They’ve found success in such diverse areas as in municipal parks, recreation, culture and tourism programs; the sporting goods and apparel industry; international, national and provincial sport governing bodies; 5 HK 2011 Community Inclusion Award Community Living Essex County The Community Living Essex County hosted their 50th annual general meeting on June 21, 2011 in McGregor, Ontario. The Community Inclusion Award was presented to the Department of Kinesiology for their role in implementing a fitness program and an adapted physical activity manual for participants of the Community Living Program. Accepting the award on behalf of the department was Chad Sutherland, Applied Learning Coordinator; Deborah Wolf, BHK candidate; and Dr. Wayne Marino, Department Head of Kinesiology sport media; athletic facilities and venues; management and marketing agencies; intercollegiate athletics; campus recreation; and public and private sport and recreation camps and resorts. Human Kinetics dean Michael Khan said the program’s success can be directly attributed to a collective effort from all the faculty and staff who work there. “We’ve got a tremendous team here and everyone is devoted to ensuring that our students get everything they need to help them succeed,” said Dr. Khan. “There’s a great tradition here of student centred excellence in which we integrate activities in research, teaching and community service and these rankings are a validation of all our efforts.” HK Students Win CIS Awards (L-R): Future HK grad student Jessica Clemencon being honored as a first team CIS All-Canadian; kinesiology student Laura Mullins (BHK ’10) captured the CIS Tracy MacLeod Award for her determination and perseverance; and Miah-Marie Langlois was honored as a first team CIS All-Canadian.
