"I'm excited to get started, expand the strengths of Sport Management program, be a mentor, and help to build the great educational foundation provided by Defiance College," said Dr. Christy.
Said Program Director Dr. Scott Hirko: "Dr. Christy has a great reputation of network-building and helping provide students with real world experiences in sports, such as the Super Bowl and the Final Four. It's great to have him back at Defiance to make a difference in educating our students."
Dr. Christy has been assisting the DC admissions office this summer, and as part of his responsibilities will also be working with the DC athletics department. He earned a PhD from The Ohio State University, a Master's degree from Michigan State University and a bachelor's degree from Central Michigan University.
