Tell us about yourself

My name is Kostas Karadakis, I received myPhDfromtheUniversityofFloridain 2012focusingonSportManagementand Quality of Life. I was born and raised in Canada, my parents immigrated from Greece. I am fairly active, I try to walk or exercise everyday, I believe in taking care of yourself holistically, but still want to find balance in all parts of life. I like to play video games, watch anime, travel, and eat. I spend most summers in Greece andinCanada, andItrytotravel everychanceIget.Ihavebeendescribed as structured, and self-aware, and try to stayflexiblewhereIcan.

What/who inspires me the most?

A few things here, my two advisors Dr. KarlisandDr.Kaplanidouaretwoofmy biggest inspirations and are the reason why I was able to pursue a career in academics.ThenIwouldsaymyparents for knowing their life story, their challenges, having moved to Canada without even knowing anyone or speaking English. They instilled a work ethic and loyalty in me that I try to incorporate in all aspects of my life. They also showed courage in how they approachedlife,soItrytoreplicatethat whereIcan.

Why did I choose SNHU?

When I was coming out into the hiring world in academics, it was one of the worst hiring years for my field I had a few interviews that were not the most professional, and one school even told me I got the job, sent me an offer, and then took it away and hired someone else a few months after. When I got the chance to interview here, I really liked how honest and straightforward the department and those interviewing me were, and NH reminded me of growing up in Canada, so I had this feeling of home. I was also excited to teach in the smaller classes, as it was two professors that impacted my life, and I wanted to try to do that as well for the students here,andtheonesthattakemyclasses.

What has been your favorite class to teach?

This one is very hard to answer. I really love teaching every class, but it is really based on the level of engagement from the students. Classes which end up feeling more like a community, where we have a mutual respect and learning environment tend to be the ones I like the most. Every semester, I usually have a favorite class, but not one class is my favorite to teach. For example, I taught ESPT 315, Legal, Social and Ethical issues in Esport last semester for the firsttime,anditwasmyfavoriteclass.It was smaller, all but one or two students hadtakenaclasswithmebefore,andwe were able to have really in-depth conversations where I believe we all learned from one another. When that happens, I get extremely excited and it revitalizesme,andmotivatesmetokeep teaching and approaching my classes thewayIdo.

ARCHIVE PROJECT

The Department of Management Science and Information Systems is currently working on the 1853 Archive Project which consists of digitizing books that SNHU has thatwerepublishedin1853

The books are photographed at the archive section and then resized with Adobe Photoshop. The images are used on the WordPress website for public access (https://1853archive.com), by using the output of Adobe Photoshop as an input to ABBYYFineReader.

This project started as an Undergraduate Research initiative in 2013 by Dr. Susan Cook and archivist Chris Cooper who developed the collection with the goal of providing an opportunity for undergraduates to experience working with rare materials. In 2019, Dr. Liz Henley joined the team along with students to join in digitizing,transcribing,andvisualizingthecollection.
