CENTER FOR

INTERNATIONAL SPORT BUSINESS The Center for International Sport Business (CISB) at Western New England University is a platform for the study of the business of sport with an international focus. One of the CISB’s signature programs is a popular speaker series called “For the Love of the Games” that brings influential personalities from the world of sport and business to campus–the IOC’s Dick Pound, MLB’s Sandy Alderson, NFL’s Danny Morrison–to name a few.

Another signature program called “Sport Seminar Abroad” takes students to cities and countries that host global mega-sporting events.

To date, Western New England students have attended the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, 2012 London Olympics, 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Get in the game.
