This event will be led by Dr. Tomeka Ferguson, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs and Inclusive Excellence and Assistant Professor and Co-Coordinator Ed.D. Program, Higher Education Leadership at Virginia Commonwealth University. Student-athletes will have an opportunity to engage with each other in an informal discussion. This facilitated discussion will center the lived experiences of student-athletes of color during civil, racial, and health crises in 2020. Student-athletes will have space, sans administrators and coaches, to share, debrief, and glean from their peers. One goal of this session is to gather ways in which student-athletes of color can be supported by administrators and coaches in the future.
This event is sponsored by the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism committee in OWU Athletics.
