As the pioneer in the sport management industry, we aspire to always maintain our reputation of excellence at all levels. For this to continue, we ask for your help. Your contributions enable our department to sustain and enhance the following important initiatives:
- McCormack Industry Engagement Fund: Enhancing real-world industry experiences and connections.
- McCormack Diversity Fund: Promoting diversity and inclusion within our student body.
- Women in Business Initiatives: Supporting the empowerment and advancement of women in the sport industry.
- Student Scholarships: Providing financial aid for both academic pursuits and career development opportunities.
The 2024 Graduate Student international sport business trip was able to visit Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano, home of Atlético de Madrid, and take in a match against FC Barcelona. We hope you will donate to a fund that resonates with you or support the overall mission of the McCormack Department by contributing to the general fund.
Each year, our department ranks among the very top of all UMass Amherst departments and groups in terms of both participation and total gifts raised – a testament to the loyalty, passion and connectedness of our alums! This year our ambitious goal is to rally over 250 donors and raise $30,000 --- please help us get there by making a gift today.
Every donation, no matter the size, is a step forward in our mission. Your participation is a testament to your belief in our students and their potential to reshape the sports industry.
Need a little extra incentive to give happy? Pam Batalis '92 MS challenges the sport management community to get involved and support McCormack students. For every 50 gifts made in support of the department, Pam will generously unlock $5,000 in support of women in the sport industry, up to a total of $25,000!
Thank you for your support! #McCormackProud
