DAVE CZESNIUK
"The Power of Sport in Today's Society: Lessons Learned from the Ugly, the
Bad & Even the Good!"

Dave Czesniuk is the director of operations at Northeastern University's
Center for the Study of Sport in Society. He has managed several healthy
development, violence prevention & diversity programs or research
initiatives serving both youth and adults. These projects utilize the power
and appeal of sport to create social-change oportunities for the global
community. Dave was previously a sport psychology consultant and instructor
at the U.S.M.A., West Point.

The discussion will focus on recent trends in sport that Dave has addressed
with colleagues, students, program constituents and the mass media over the
past year. He will also share feedback gained from studying sport and those
who participate in it, his 15-year exploration of the various perspectives
of sport in society.
