Abstract
Today’s student-athletes are faced with a myriad of unique challenges. These may range from maintaining a productive balance between athletic and academic commitments to coping with the high visibility attached to being a student-athlete. This panel discussion will address the challenges minority student-athletes face at a predominantly white institution and aspects of campus and community life for these students.
