Administration
This has been an eventful year for the Sport Administration Program. We lost a great faculty member in Dr. Nathan Martin as he went on to teach at the Unversity of Memphis. Although he is greatly missed, we were able to hire Dr. Annie Clement in his position. We feel extremely fortunate to have been able to attract someone of Dr. Clement's experience and expertise. In addition to a Ph. D., she has a J.D. and is very well known and respected in several areas, primarily Sport Law. Additionally, we were able to hire Dr. Andrew Yiannakis for the position of Research Professor. After a long career, mainly at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Yiannakis moved to Albuquerque to help with many special projects. He is very well know in Sport Sociology and also has a strong background in Sport Tourism. We are very excited about these additions to the program.
Dr.David Scott, Chair of our Dept. for the last three years also took another position this year. Fortunately, he is still at UNM and is now the Associate Dean for Research for the College of Education.
