ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses critical issues associated with the pending influx of millennial faculty to sport management preparation programs. Millennial faculty candidates will want to know about realistic timelines and goals, and they will want a specific road map to success. Cultural differences in the office suite, work style and methodological differences in the classroom, and technological differences on and off campus are areas in which millennials will affect academe with their nontraditional expectations and novel approaches to their sport management academic careers. In a sport management program context, the millennial faculty member teaches the more experienced professor such skills as the use of social networking in teaching, creative use of technology, and other concepts needed to reach the contemporary college student. The presence of millennial faculty who bring more collaborative approaches to their work may reveal a new order to entrenched sport management faculty and convince them to follow in seeking a balance between their boundaries and freedoms.
