John Lisec, School Kinesiology Ph.D. student, recently recounted his research experience at Beijing Sport University (BSU) in the China Center 2012-13 Annual Report. Lisec was the recipient of the Red Pockets Scholarship that allowed him to research in the field of sport management, tour the Beijing Olympic facilities, meet twelve Chinese Olympic gold medalists, and experience cultural sites such as the National Center for the Performing Arts. His research course produced a collaborative project with a BSU faculty member. Lisec will analyze the utilization of the Beijing National Stadium and the Beijing National Aquatics Center post-Olympic games.
