Vicki Lynn Martin

After joining the Sport Management faculty at Liberty in 2005 as an associate professor, Dr. Vicky Martin was promoted to the chair of the Sport Management Department in 2006. After becoming chair, Dr. Martin desired students to be able to study sport management not only at the undergraduate level, but also at graduate level while at Liberty University. In 2009, Dr. Martin proposed the sport management graduate program that she had been developing for three years. It was officially approved by SACSCOC in 2010, and launched that spring. Dr. Martin led the Department of Sport Management through the specialized accreditation process with the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA).
