Each fall and spring SPORTS will host a regional Special Olympics event on the campus of MSU. Special Olympics, along with the Boys & Girls Club, are the primary benefactors of proceeds raised through events hosted by SPORTS, the Honor Society for Sports Administration students on the campus of MSU.

thanks to:

Bobby Tomlinson, Brent Frey and Larry Templeton in MSU Athletics for use of the MSU Track, the MSU Recereation Department, Laura Walling and Patrik Nordin for use of the Sanderson Center, and all of the volunteers, including the M Club, Department of Kinesiology and area supporters that make this event possible.

Community Service

Going to class, socializing and getting the most out of the college degree is great. But to whom much is given much is expected. There is more to life than the library and partying. Students are young and in their mental and physical prime. They are the leaders of tomorrow regardless of the community they reside. Part of being involved in SPORTS means being involved in giving back to those less fortunate. It might be in the form of picking up trash, working in a soup kitchen, volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club, assisting with charity work and more. Students have found that in addition to being intrinsically rewarding, the community service aspect of SPORTS provide a relief from the stress of academics and a mental break to put life in perspective. It also affords the opportunity to meet new people and gain a sense of duty and responsibility as you grow older. The PGA Tour's mission is a Drive for a Billion with money given back to the community where events are held. What are you doing to make a difference today?
