This unique climate of student activism and civic engagement provides athletic and campus staff and administrators with the opportunity to enhance the learning and development of student-athletes beyond the athletic realm. Through the examination of an instrumental case study exploring an educational leadership program designed to engage student-athletes around racial justice\, session participants will discover how one athletic department’s unique approach helped to enhance student-athletes’ learning and development while better equipping them to utilize their athletic platform to make a meaningful societal impact. This session should particularly benefit participants who are interested in the intersection of athletics\, social justice\, and the holistic learning and development of student-athletes. \n  \nPresenter:\n \nCourtney A.
