\n\"\"With the new sports media and communication minor and the major to launch next year, the Harrington School of Communication and Media is excited to welcome to the faculty, Brittani Sahm, Ph.D.  Sahm received her Ph.D. from the University of Florida with an emphasis on sports, advertising, and public relations. She also <\/span>received her master\u2019s degree in sport management from the University of Florida and her bachelor\u2019s degree in sport management from SUNY Cortland.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to her academic credentials in sports media, Dr. Sahm worked for two years as a sport information assistant at Washington and Lee University, working on press coverage, social media messaging, press box management, and league-wide communications for nine Generals\u2019 varsity sports teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Sahm just as we expand the Harrington School\u2019s curriculum in sports media and communication. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to be joining a growing program that is taking students needs seriously,\u201d Sahm said. \u201cThere have not been many opportunities for students to study sports within the Harrington School, and I am honored to be a part of the expansion into sports and help build the program up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sahm currently teaches strategic sport communication and media. The course includes a variety of assignments including attending a game and writing a press release about it, reading a box score, and learning Adobe Photoshop and InDesign to aid in the production of sports media materials. Students are also taught how to cater messages to different platforms and how to find jobs and internships in the sports communication field.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe students are so excited to learn about the world of sports, which is really important,\u201d Sahm said. \u201cThey want to be there to learn, and they come from such diverse backgrounds and interests, which helps bring new ideas to the table that help us all learn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her advice to Harrington School students is valuable across all fields, not just sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStart preparing early,\u201d Sahm said. \u201cCollege is just not about knowing what you want to do, it\u2019s about getting experiences that will help you prepare for your future career.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
