Joshua Lupinek, a doctoral candidate in the School of Kinesiology, presented two projects at the 2015 North American Society for Sport Management (NASSM) annual conference, which took place June 3 – 6 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Lupinek facilitated
a graduate student symposium entitled, “Publish or Perish: Engaging with the Process of Publishing as a Graduate Student.” This symposium featured a panel of industry leading researchers, journal editors, and reviewers who addressed topics such as finding research partners, journal selection, revise & resubmit, after the reject, and after the accept. This symposium was co-authored by Natalie L. Smith (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Patti Millar (Western University), and Rebecca Achen (The University of Kansas).

He also presented at the NASSM Teaching and Learning Fair: “Flipping the Grid Within Online Course Development and Instruction” with former Sport Management Ph.D. graduate Dr. Lana Huberty from the Concordia University – St. Paul. This presentation
showcased the integration of “Flipgrid” technology within online course development. Student enrichment was displayed from syllabus outcomes to student course evaluations, with the purpose of enriching through video and spoken words rather than text responses.

Lupinek is working towards his Ph.D., with an emphasis in sport management. He is advised by Dr. Stephen Ross.
