Amanda Fischer moved to Richmond in the summer of 2010 with plans to pursue a master’s degree in sport leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University. But before classes began that fall, she was offered a job in Ohio. No problem: She simply switched to the online version of the VCU program and is finding she can put to use the strategies she’s studying in her courses to help her on the job. Fischer left Richmond to work as director of basketball operations for the women’s team at her alma mater, the University of Dayton, and is now the game operations intern for the Chicago White Sox. She especially likes the feedback she gets from online classmates who already are working in her field.
