“I took a class called Behind the Scenes with Chicago Sports Organizations with Professor Andy Clark. Our class met on-site with sports organizations such as the Chicago Bears and the White Sox. It really opened my eyes even further to the world of sports management.”

I love teaching Business Analytics. Students are genuinely interested in learning how to use data analysis to evaluate and improve business decisions. They especially enjoy the applied nature of the course – thinking through how they might use real data to offer insights into important business questions across disciplines.
