Last week, I interviewed Shawn Jones, who is the Associate Athletic Director for External Operations at The University of Central Missouri. I really actually enjoyed this assignment. I learned a lot from the interview about a lot of different things. Shawn is not only the Associate A.D. but is also the radio voice of the mules. It was really interesting to listen to him talk about the inisides of the Athletic department and what all goes on. I went in with a list of questions but as he began to talk, I learned a lot more than I had planned and I had more questions that I just kept coming up with along the way. I found myself a lot more interested in what he did than I thought. I've always known that a career in Athletics, whether it be coaching or the administration side, but during this interview I learned so much more about what goes on and I actually feel even more excited about possibly getting into Athletics Administration than before. One highlight of the interview that was particularly interesting to me was when Shawn talked about the significance of facebook. At first, he says that he saw it as a possible major problem (which it has proven to be in some instances at other educational institutions) but now he actually uses it to advertise for sporting events. Either way, it is something that has been a very significant issue since its conception. People in Shawn's position have to look out for things like this and must stay on top of new technology devices.
