Daniel is an assistant professor in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He has a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University in sport management and a master’s from Oklahoma State University in educational leadership with an emphasis in college student development.
Springer's research examines the nexus of sport and individual development in higher education through various developmental and organizational frameworks to construct a better contextual understanding of formal sport environments, focusing especially on their philosophical and structural characteristics. It is his goal to contribute to the conversation both in higher education and in sport management about how to effectively leverage and deliver sport within higher education, particularly toward human development outcomes.
