Keeping It Real: Experiences of Minority Student-Athletes at Iowa State University

Author:

Abstract

This panel discussion will highlight the journey of Iowa State University student-athletes, including their triumphs and challenges. It will address the obstacles that minority student-athletes face at a predominantly white institution 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
