    Welcome to the latest episode of Fundamentals, a Front Office Sports interview show featuring leading operators and voices of the sports industry.

    In this episode, presented by McCormack Department of Sport Management at UMass Amherst, alumni and faculty will discuss its newest course – Women in Business – which prepares women to be innovators in the sports industry and disrupt gender norms. Panelists include:
