The Student Athletes of Color Summit was created to bring together BIPOC student-athletes, and the staff and administrators who support them, in order to focus on the unique needs of BIPOC student-athletes. The goal of the Summit is to help student-athletes further develop in ways that will promote not only their well-being and success but also create a toolbox to help them navigate through the everyday obstacles and challenges they face.  The Summit seeks also to help BIPOC student-athletes to maximize their college experience and ensure that they have practical leadership skills and are empowered to be effective change agents on campus and beyond.
