ASHE Pre-Conference Forum on College Athletics

2020 CONFERENCE RECAP - RAISING ATHLETE VOICES

COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, and student-athlete name image likeness (NIL) policies are shaping college athletics in unprecedented ways. Too often, however, discussions around these topics do not center the voices of those most affected by these issues: the student-athlete. In this ASHE pre-conference forum, we will engage in a panel discussion with current student-athletes from across the US.  This student-athlete-only format centers the voices of college athletes on the changes that directly impact them. From monetizing their NIL, to mobilizing over Black Lives Matter, to speaking up about their health, this forum will focus on strategies to support college athlete voices in activism and free speech.

 

FEATURED:

Kain Colter, co-founder of the College Athletes Players Association and former NCAA Division I Athlete

MODERATED BY:

Kirsten Hextrum, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Oklahoma and former NCAA Division I Athlete

PANELISTS:

  • Michelle Atherley, Member of University of Miami Black Student-Athlete Alliance

  • Anna Cockrell, Co-founder of United Black Student-Athletes Association at USC
