Visitors: this website will give you a sample of the sport management coursework taught by Professor Wilson at Medaille College.

This coursework is aimed to connect theory with practice. Professor Wilson’s emphasis is on practical experience in the educational process, via class activities, service learning, shadowing, and internships.  Professor Wilson also aims to expand students’ technological competencies.

His main teaching philosophy is best summer up as, “Ensuring students can secure jobs upon graduation.”  If students are not employable, then the education, the student, or both, have missed their mark.  For more about Professor Wilson, click the “About Professor Wilson” tab above.  For more about Medaille College, visit the official website.  And for more about the Medaille College Sport Management program, visit the program website, also built by Professor Wilson, at MedailleSPM.com.
