Canisius College

During the fall 2004 semester, former Sport Administration Director Staci Carney Studesville proposed the development of an organization for the Master of Sport Administration students at Canisius College. Subsequently, a meeting was held involving interested parties within the program and the Master of Sport Administration (MSA) Society was established.

The Canisius College MSA Society works to provide an atmosphere that fosters professional development for its members. That experience comes about through networking and building relationships within the sports community as well as creating, planning and executing events. The MSA Society is dedicated to increasing awareness of the program in the community and in the academic and professional world.

The executive council of the MSA Society is comprised of four members; president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. The Council abides by an official constitution and mission statement.

The MSA Society puts together at least one volunteer or community service event each semester. Past events include, but are not limited to, Habitat for Hummanity, working at the local soup kitchen, and raising money for the Relay for Life.

The MSA Society also plans a trip biannually to cities across the United States. In the past the MSA students have visited Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and various others. During these business trips students get a chance to meet with all different types of sports officials and administrators. These extracurricular trips allow MSA Society members to experience a new city, an opportunity to create an enviroment for possible networking situations, and they expose the students to many different careers in the sports business world.
