In his first year at the University of Michigan, Harrison won the prestigious ?Teacher of the Year? Award in the Division of Kinesiology representing four academic units and departments (sport management, athletic training, physical education and movement science). During his stint in Michigan (1997-2004) Harrison developed courses on leadership, race and diversity in sport at the graduate and undergraduate level that were uncommon in other undergraduate and graduate programs in sport business or sport management.
