Today’s visit to @camrufc gave our @NCState #PackAbroad students a deeper look at community-based sport in the UK.
Huge thanks to Nick Dance & @Crufc_Community for the behind-the-scenes access and thoughtful insights. A great day out!
Just two days into our #NCState #PackAbroad program in London and we’re off to a fast start!
🏟️ @Arsenal Arsenal talk on sustainability with Mike Lloyd
⚽ Matchday at Loftus Road for @QPR vs. Brentford in the PLC Cup
💬 Insightful convo w/ Paul Mitchell from the QPR Trust
Couldn’t have asked for a better start for the @NCFC_Youth 09 Courage. Played some great soccer and earned two wins against Classic teams. Big game tomorrow morning. Win/draw and into the final. Regardless of what happens, couldn’t be prouder of these players!

This concern over late action reinforces my research findings w/ @jasonbocarro @mbedwards1 which indicated that leverage on human rights around major sport event is greatest early on in the planning and delivery cycle tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… (2/2) @EventRights

Another great week for our #PackAbroad students. Visits included Bath Rugby, Manchester City, Arsenal, and ended with Rugby Challenge Cup Final at Tottenham. Learned about event planning and implementation and sustainable facility development. Well earned free weekend ahead!
Our @NCState #PackAbroad sport management students had a great time @Saracens today despite the result. They learned a lot about rugby and were excited to cheer on another Wolfpack!
After a classroom session and a London scavenger hunt, our #PackAbroad sport management students were ready for their first event- @SpursWomen v @ChelseaFCW in the @BarclaysWSL
Great to have the students here for our sport events and facilities program in London. Thankful everyone made it in safely. Excellent welcome dinner at the Narrowboat and now to get ready for a full three weeks of activities. #Packabroad

Big thanks to @MillwallFC for hosting our @NCStateCNR @NCSUStudyAbroad students today. Great to hear about the work of @Millwall_MCT and also learn about the hospitality and sponsorship side. Nice tour of the Den from Lucy and Alex. A community club definitely on their way up.
Final London sporting event for our @NCStateCNR @NCSUStudyAbroad Sport Abroad students. Watching @Pulse_Netball at the Copper Box. Exciting match and fun to watch at top level after learning to play the sport last week.
