Critical Conversation: Activism and How to Amplify the Voices of Student-Athletes and Staff
Original Date: Thursday, August 25, 2020
Listen to your student-athletes. Create opportunities and help facilitate action based on what your student-athletes are telling you. Make diversity and inclusion part of who you are instead of treating it like a PR move to remain relevant. These and many more perspectives were shared by our panel including student-athletes Anna Cockrell (USC) and Georgia McKee (Belmont), and Kansas State Chief Diversity Officer Julian Jones.
Student-athletes and staff members are arriving back on campus after six months of chaos. First it was a pandemic and then it was racial and social injustice – all of which disproportionately affected underserved populations including people of color. These issues brought significant voices, many of whom were athletes, to the forefront demanding action and change. How will you help student-athletes and staff on your campus find their voice to channel their emotions into activism?
