BIO

My name is Dr. Yan Gioseffi, and I am an Assistant Professor at the College of Idaho. I was born and raised in Brazil and moved to the United States at a young age to study and play collegiate soccer. Throughout my journey, I found myself in academia, where I couldn’t be happier mentoring and teaching students from many regions of the U.S. and countries around the world. I am a proud alumnus of the College of Idaho, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree. Academically, I also completed my M.B.A. from Boise State University and received my Ph.D. in Sport Administration from the University of New Mexico. Throughout my time at The College of Idaho, I have taught a variety of Business courses, including Principles of Marketing, International Business, Production and Operations Management, Introduction to Business, Sport Finance, Sport Marketing, and Legal Aspects in Sport. My research areas include Risk Management, Sport Law, Collegiate Athletics, International Sports, Ethics, and Marketing.
