Student and Alumni Stories
Andrew Shea ’23
Exercise Science, Pre-Physical Therapy track

Sport + Recreation Facility Design + Management course
“I think that getting out of the classroom and touring sports facilities is a very important aspect of my learning experience. Facility management is the first course that I’ve taken here at SJC where we left campus to go and have hands-on experience. Professor Woodside has given my peers and I this different learning experience and I think that it has positively impacted not just myself but everyone else.
