A brief chat with Aaron Kolodny of M.S.Sport Business Management

Hi Aaron- Why did you choose the Manhattanville School of Business to pursue your degree?
1) I chose Manhattanville School of Business because of the location, the reputation of the program in the current sport management field and academics, and the geographic proximity to New York City. These three variables all enable students to obtain desired internships and future careers in the competitive sports business field. I also was very impressed with the faculty during my initial Open House and their prominent list of key advisors in the sport management field.

How has your studies helped in your position?

2) In regards to my position at the ECAC, I would say that all classes so far have been helpful during my tenure. I certainly have taken many themes from Professor Rollins’, Managing Sports Business, Professor Doris’, Leading Sports Organizations and Prof. Glovaski/Alpert's Facility & Event Management courses.

How else have your studies helped at your job?

3) In regards to the transition of what I am learning to what I am doing has been most evident with my grasping financial accountability involved in sports management. I have learned a better understanding of the accounting department and the role the college conference office provides to its member institutions. I have worked collaboratively with the ECAC team to learn about the day-to-day and fiscal year operations and discussed future strategic plan investments. As a member of the administrative services team, I taught myself QuickBooks and our accounting reporting system.

Thanks Aaron- we wish you the best of success!

SPS Prof Richard A. Montanaro: Covid-19 resume gaps will become commonplace, yet still need explaining

Richard A. Montanaro: Covid-19 resume gaps will become commonplace, yet still need explaining As posted on Westchester & Fairfield County Business Journals January 4, 2021 By School of Professional Studies Professor Richard A. Montanaro B inge watching Netflix is not a valid explanation for gaps in your resume. While a prospective employer may understand, and even sympathize with an unexplained period of inactivity in your employment, you will need to put a positive spin on these gaps even given the pandemic. As an HR practitioner who has overseen the hiring process for over a thousand applicants during my career, I can say that it’s not uncommon for there to be employment gaps: periods without employment during a professional career. Given the pandemic, business downturn and related organizational downsizing, these gaps may be more prevalent now. Yet, regardless of the difficult times organizations and individuals are facing, gaps in employment and how to best represent them rema

2020 Sports...It's a Wrap!

On the Eve of 2021 SPS Professor Dave Torromeo Posted on Latin Business Today. As we approach the end of 2020—one of the strangest years known to mankind—we once again turn our attention to the things that make us happy, the things that bring us joy in the face of sadness and despair: live sporting events. We know the leagues and TV broadcast partners are happy, or maybe relieved? While the world tries to return to normal, we can be grateful that sports, although different, have at least given us an outlet. That is what sports have always done—provided us with a release! That is why when people attend or tune into a sports event they do not want to be reminded of their problems, politics, or other incendiary touch point issues. The sports world continues to roll on, albeit with various of stops and starts due to COVID-19. Teams are affected or infected, and then games are postponed or canceled. However, let us focus on the positives as we have live sporting events almost every day and
