“I think leadership has to continue to be intentional and thoughtful about what inclusive behaviors are, not just for Title IX, but equity, LGBTQ, and all those things that are important to the health and mental wellness of our student-athletes, our coaches, and administrators.”
“The women that I saw, when you say you want to be what you want to see, I got to see that in the CIAA. And that's why this conference is so special. It’s so much beyond just the sport. It truly is a community for the nation.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
