Meet Carson: Sport management

Growing up I played soccer, football, basketball, baseball, and cross country but when I got to high school, I cut it down to football, basketball, and lacrosse.

My favorite faculty member is Dr. Lewis because he makes his classes very engaging and entertaining you rarely find yourself sitting in his class bored. 

My career goals are to work my way up from scout to the General Manager of a professional sports team preferably in football or basketball. My aspirations are to travel the United States and maybe even the world looking for talent and finding some of the next great athletes.

I have not completed any internships yet but I am always searching for opportunities!

My favorite recreational activity to do is to go to the football games because you get to spend the morning tailgating hanging out with your friends then get to go to the game with a great atmosphere.

WMU is a great community with the student body of a major university but it feels like a small school if you want it to. There’s always something to do whether it is a student organization, sporting event, or just going out in Kalamazoo to hang out with your friends. But also that the faculty care about your success and want you to do your best and they’re always willing to help you out.
