Oh to catch the game winner on video in OT! What a game! Just epic! Let’s go @Canes! How about that comeback @AGoldFan

It was an honor to talk about our @GuilfordCollege Sport Studies department — as well as the innovative experiential learning and teaching approaches we use in our Masters of International Sport Management (MISM) program — at the 40th annual @NASSM conference this week in San Juan, Puerto Rico. A huge thank you for the support of the Guilford College community in making this possible. #UniquelyGuilford

@AGoldFan Loved it

So yeah, got home last night from our @GuilfordCollege study abroad. Was in the house for a grand total of about eight hours. Quick laundry stop and off again. This time to talk about our program at the North American Society of Sport Management (NASSM) annual conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. #uniquelyguilford

Indeed it did … #guilfordspstabroad2026

[Guilford College Sport Studies @GCSportStudies]

Well, that went by fast. The #guilfordspstabroad2026 trip was our best yet. Thank you @GuilfordCollege.

What. A. Trip. A huge thank you to Arno Langevoort and Purpose Travel as we wrapped up our trip to Barcelona, Nimes, Nice and Milan. The service and attention to detail by Arno and his team provided our students with a perfect week of learning, fun and experiences they will remember for a lifetime. Also, an even bigger thank you to the @GuilfordCollege community for its support of these study abroad trips. They are part of what makes us #UniquelyGuilford. #guilfordspstabroad2026

Our final two days abroad were filled with exploration of Milan & Lake Maggiore, a group dinner, and visiting @acmilan to wrap up the trip inside iconic San Siro. Days 9/10 did not disappoint. Thank you @GuilfordCollege. Knowledge gained ✅ Moments made ✅ #guilfordspstabroad2026

Hey @ThatKevinSmith, found our guy just around the corner from the Milan Duomo! #buddychrist

[Michael S. White @mikewhitePR]

Another memorable day for our students from @GuilfordCollege … Milan is already making an impression on them. #guilfordspstabroad2026

Travel days on study abroad can be tough, but there’s always a pay off at the end. For our @GuilfordCollege students, five hours in the bus led to a visit to the Formula 1 iconic course in Monza and a workout with Inter Milan Campus. #guilfordspstabroad2026

Nine years separate these two photos from the Monte Carlo Country Club. In the first, I’m the student. In the second, I’m still learning … but now have my own @GuilfordCollege students along for the ride. What a crazy, blessed life. #guilfordspstabroad2026

Talk about worlds colliding! Our @GuilfordCollege sport management program and its study abroad/masters degree components don’t exist without the impact of the @etsu Global Sport Leadership program and its faculty @docsander30, @Johnstob and @AdamLSayers, who all live influenced my life so much. Having the chance to share dinner with them in Nice, France alongside my current department chair Craig Eilbacher and fellow faculty @MikeDeGeorge and Guilford alum John Crane was surreal. Also, thanks to our two groups’ guides Arno and Sjoerd Langevoort for getting us here safely.

Days 6 & 7 included an early bus transfer to Nice on Wednesday morning for our @GuilfordCollege students, followed by a visit to OGC Nice’s professional and development facility and free time for exploring Nice later in the day. Thursday was an adventure to Monaco’s Monte Carlo, lectures at the UIPM federation for pentathlon and the Monte Carlo Country Club, and walking the streets of the Monaco Grand Prix, which will be raced on June 7. #guilfordspstabroad2026

This trip continues to deliver and the city of Nimes, France is truly a hidden European jewel. #guilfordspstabroad2026

[Guilford College Sport Studies @GCSportStudies]

Our full day in Nimes, France began with a visit to the Pont du Gard aqueduct, then a workshop with USAM Nimes Gard handball, and wrapped up with a walking tour of the Nimes Arena and city sites. Our @GuilfordCollege students continue to find inspiration. #guilfordspstabroad2026

[Michael S. White @mikewhitePR]

Great final day in Barcelona and now off to one of my favorite European cities … Nimes, France. #guilfordspstabroad2026

[Guilford College Sport Studies @GCSportStudies]

Day 4 was full of fantastic lectures at the Barcelona International Sailing Center and the CAR High Performance Center, followed by a bullet train transfer to Nimes, France. Arriving in the to find this Roman arena was a highlight of the day. #guilfordspstabroad2026

Making more memories … #guilfordspstabroad2026

[Guilford College Sport Studies @GCSportStudies]

Days 2 and 3 of our @GuilfordCollege sport management trip abroad covered the weekend in Barcelona. A recovery Saturday full of beach and fun, followed by pair of firsts for many with a visit to both MotoGP and FC Barcelona’s finale at Camp Nou. #guilfordspstabroad2026

[Michael S. White @mikewhitePR]

Seriously, I have the best job on the planet. Thank you @GCSportStudies and the students that make up our great program. #grateful

[Guilford College Sport Studies @GCSportStudies]

Our @GuilfordCollege sport management undergraduate and graduate students launched the fifth-straight year of study abroad learning on Friday. The group will be enjoying a four-city, 10-day tour that begins in Barcelona. #guilfordspstabroad2026
