Biography
Dr. Jeremy S. Jordan joined the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management faculty in 2008m after having served as Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of the Sport Administration Program at the University of Miami.
Dr. Jordan’s research focuses on the community benefits of mass participant sport events. Specifically, his research examines consumer expectations and satisfaction, motives for participation, commitment to the event and/or activity, and economic activity, all within the theoretical framework of involvement. Community-based mass participant sport events have the capacity to stimulate new money into the host economy, create and reinforce business opportunities, and facilitate social cohesion. However, there is need to conduct research in this area as empirical evidence supporting such claims is lacking.
Dr. Jordan is the Director of the Sport Industry Research Center (SIRC) at Temple University. SIRC was created in 2008 and is a collaborative research network providing innovative marketing and management strategies to enhance the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of sporting events.
