STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER at Notre Dame HIGH School
In advance of the March Madness tournament, America's second biggest sporting event, join us for an evening with Declan Hill, D.Phil, Associate Professor at the University of New Haven, who will present Organized Crime, Sports Gambling and the Real Story of the Shohei Ohtani Scandal. Dr. Hill will share compelling data and insights on the dramatic rise of online sports gambling in our society — including its growing prevalence among young men — and examine how the normalization and aggressive promotion of sports betting is reshaping our culture. Don't miss this timely and thought-provoking conversation.
Dr. Declan Hill is an Associate Professor in the Division of Government and Public Service at the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences, University of New Haven. A journalist, academic, and consultant, he is recognized internationally as one of the leading experts on match-fixing and corruption in global sports.
Dr. Hill earned his doctorate in Sociology from the University of Oxford as a Chevening Scholar. He is the author of The Fix: Organized Crime and Soccer and The Insider’s Guide to Match-Fixing in Football, groundbreaking works that have shaped international understanding of sports integrity. His research has been published in leading academic journals and has informed organizations such as Interpol and SportAccord.
As we welcome Dr. Hill to share his groundbreaking work, we also celebrate the way Notre Dame alumni continue to shape conversations that matter in our world. This event is more than a lecture — it’s a chance for our alumni community to gather, engage with important issues, and be reminded of the impact a Notre Dame education can have far beyond our campus. We invite you to join us for an evening of insight, connection, and Notre Dame pride.
