Dittmore Gives Address on Information Overload; Students Visit Sprint Center
Posted on 11/20/2009
Steve Dittmore, assistant professor of recreation at the University of Arkansas, was back on old stomping grounds recently when he spoke at the second annual Sport Management Recognition Night at Wichita State University.
Dittmore, who joined the faculty of the College of Education and Health Professions in 2008, spoke Nov. 12 on effective communication in the current climate of information overload resulting from mass media proliferation and social media. His first teaching position was at Wichita as an instructor from 2002 through 2004.
Dittmore and Merry Moiseichik, professor of recreation, also recently returned from taking 27 sport management students in the recreation program to the Sprint Center in Kansas City. The students attended a two-day professional development workshop Nov. 3-4 hosted by Sprint Sports Marketing. The students met with personnel of the center to learn more about the career path they have chosen. Sports Business Journal published a picture of the students at the Sprint Center in its Faces and Places section.
