Real Talk: Discussing the Experiences of Minority StudentAthletes at Iowa State University
- Patrice Feulner (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This panel discussion will showcase the unique journey of ISU student-athletes on their path to academic and athletic excellence as they navigate a predominantly white institution. Current student-athletes will share both their triumphs and challenges, ranging from maintaining a productive balance between athletics and academic commitments to coping with the high visibility attached to being an ISU student-athlete. For minority student-athletes, the high visibility can be magnified, thus creating a myriad of unique challenges. Various aspects of campus and community life will be discussed through a question and answer session.
