The use of advisory boards in higher education has long served as a means for colleges, universities and academic units to gain support and guidance. Sport management is no stranger to this practice as the dynamic nature of the industry requires a concerted effort by academicians to improve program offerings. With this goal in mind, the paper outlines the use of students as stakeholders in their learning process through the formation of a student advisory board in sport management. This advisory board would work together with academic faculty and administration in a similar capacity as would an industry advisory board. The board would serve as a means of providing feedback on curriculum development, networking opportunities, effective teaching modalities, industry trends and other programming facets. Student advisory boards in sport management education is an application of the foundation established in the area of library sciences and from practitioner advisory boards in business and other sectors. Implementation of such an endeavor requires buy-in from faculty and administration to incorporate student voice in the educational process. The paper includes further discussion in relation to student advisory board establishment, role, membership and benefits.
