Albers' MBA in Sport & Entertainment Management program is sponsoring this year's conference, themed ‘Diversity and Disruption.'
新澳门六合彩开奖结果 will host this year’s annual conference of the Pacific Northwest Academy of Legal Studies in Business (PNALSB), April 14-15 in Sullivan Hall at the School of Law. The conference is designed to help lead conversations on sports and entertainment, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and law and regulation around Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).
Albers' MBA in Sport and Entertainment Management (SEM) is the conference sponsor and a leader in the emerging multidisciplinary conversations surrounding DEI and NIL.
The first day of the conference will feature a keynote address from Hewan Teshome, senior vice president and general counsel of the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena, a vital partner of 新澳门六合彩开奖结果. Her address will be in conversation with 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 President Eduardo Peñalver.
On the second day, after more discussion and the annual business meeting of the PNALSB, attendees will attend a 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Mariners game at T-Mobile Park.
“The MBA in Sport and Entertainment Management program is founded on our university values of diversity and inclusion,” explains Eva Sedgwick, director of SU's MBA SEM. “This conference is a chance for us to publicly support scholarship and organizational practices, such as those of partners like the 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena, that advance the role of DEI in higher education and in workplaces across the sports and entertainment industries."
The subject of NIL is certainly a popular one, but the PNALSB conference will be the first time it will be comprehensively addressed, simultaneously, by experts in academia, industry and law from throughout the state. Big picture, everyone agrees a student-athlete should have every opportunity to succeed in life, the classroom and in the sport they play. But legislators, institutions and varied professionals must ensure a clear set of rules to achieve those ends.
“There’s been a lot of noise around Name, Image and Likeness, but not as much thoughtful dialogue,” explains Dr. Natalie Welch, an assistant professor in the MBA SEM program who will take part in a NIL panel at the conference. “This conference will explore NIL deeply and explain the disruption it has created in the world of sports. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of how NIL impacts student-athletes across all sports, schools, conferences and states.”
