As our country continues to face social injustices, it’s important that we recognize the efforts to effect change are not the sole responsibility of the oppressed or marginalized populations which are directly impacted. Allyship is a crucial piece in our ability to successfully incite positive and lasting change. This session explores what it means to be an ally and provides insight into the ways that we can take action to better serve our colleagues and student-athletes in this type of role. Speakers: Stevie Baker-Watson, Associate Vice President for Campus Wellness & Theodore Katula Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports, DePauw University (Moderator); Val Ackerman, Commissioner, Big East Conference; Kevin White, Vice President, Director of Athletics, & Adjunct Professor for Business Administration, Duke University; Dr. Dan Roller, Anti-Racism Activist & Managing Director, Acris Project.
