In partnership with espnW, the Athletics Department recently hosted "Campus Conversations"--a special event that drew hundreds of female Texas A&M students to Reed Arena.
Designed to create discussions that support, educate, and inspire female student-athletes during their collegiate careers, along with preparing them for success after graduation, espnW's Campus Conversations was making its first visit to the Aggies' campus.
The two-hour event featured dinner, a star-studded panel and breakout sessions for those in attendance, which included over 250 student-athletes and another 50 from the College of Education and Human Development.
“The espnW Campus Conversation event was a phenomenal time for our student-athletes," Associate Athletics Director for Engagement Rebekah Parkhill said. "The work that espnW is doing to prepare female student-athletes for success working in the 'real world' after graduation greatly aligns with our mission to create opportunities through championship athletics. For our student-athletes to hear that message from ESPN executives and Texas A&M former letterwomen was extremely impactful because, as former student-athletes, they can relate to what our current class is experiencing and therefore better develop them as leaders.”
