Did you know your sports fandom might be impacting your health? As the FIFA World Cup kicks off, Dr. Aaron Mansfield, assistant professor of sport management, is exploring how fandom shapes people’s lives — for better or worse.

While his research links sports fandom to a range of poor health outcomes, it also suggests that fandom is one of the most powerful forces in human behavior. Few things inspire as much emotion and loyalty as the teams we love.

After seeing her daughter, Kayleigh Manupelli ‘25, M’26 earn her bachelor's degree in criminology and criminal justice, Kate Manupelli '92, M’26 felt inspired to join her in Merrimack's graduate program. Last month, the mother-daughter duo crossed the stage together at Commencement.

Kate became a municipal attorney after earning her bachelor's degree in 1996. Kayleigh hopes to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a lawyer herself. While she’s especially interested in criminal law and criminal defense, she plans to explore other areas while attending law school.

Congratulations, Kate and Kayleigh!
