Dean of the Manship School of Mass Communication

Dean, Kim Bissell

Study Abroad Director

What are you most excited about?

I can not wait to see everyone's reaction as we walk into an Olympic Stadium for the first time. Even if we have seen big games at LSU or elsewhere, we will be walking into a stadium for an event we have only seen on TV. I think it will all start to sink in at that point.

Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies

Dr. Meghan Sanders

Program Director

What are you most excited about?

This will be a transformative experience so I'm excited about the ways this trip will foster and enhance a love of travel and cultures in our students. I'm also looking forward to the cheese and chocolate!

Manship Professional-in-Residence in Sports Broadcasting

Dr. Chad Sabadie

What are you most excited about?

I am looking forward to our students experiencing Olympic events firsthand and documenting their journey this summer.
