First-year WSU student Sadie Chamberlain, who is majoring in Sport Management, has been involved in hands-on activities since her first day on campus. That includes time with the WSU men's soccer club, head coached by Sport Management faculty member Alex Gang.

Now, along with Alex, and Kinesiology faculty member Tristan Loria, Sadie is helping with research pertaining to music and soccer. She and Alex will be presenting this research at the Applied Sport Management Association Conference in Cincinnati on Feb. 12-14.

We join Sammi Nutter Charlton, a 2021 alumna from the WSU College of Education, who is now a third-grade teacher in East Wenatchee.

Sammi isn't only a teacher, she's also a children's book author, recently with Dozer Day Paves the Way, proceeds of which benefit the Nutter Family Foundation.

The book is based off the Dozer Days event that was started in Vancouver, Wash., but has spread to nine different places.
