Dr. Rich’s research explores issues relating to sponsorship and endorsement. Within the area of sponsorship, his focus is currently on understanding differences in sponsorship effects among industry categories, both related to product/service characteristics and subsequent differences in leveraging (e.g. on-site activation, social media activation, advertising, CSR, etc.). Additionally, Dr. Rich is interested in studying the common but minimally investigated sponsor-agency-property relationship as it functions in sponsorship leveraging and activation.

Employment Opportunities

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
