We are heartbroken over the passing of senior associate athletic director, Marlon Dechausay.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and everyone he left an impact on.

[WNBA @WNBA]

Leaving the game better than she found it.

Thank you, @Candace_Parker for all you’ve done for basketball and congrats on a legendary career 🧡

[The Institute for Sport & Social Justice @InstituteSSJ]

What can a partnership with the Institute look like?

@NCAA's Student-Athlete Leadership Forum represents the best of what we do with like-minded people & organizations. Learn more about our partnership process from our Huddle Up director, trainers, & NCAA leadership team.

[I appreciate you. @DeeLaSheeArt]

I absolutely love that she corrected him from saying she’s breaking generational curses but instead starting new generational practices. The generational “curses” really just be systemic barriers & I hate tht they get framed as personal, collective failures. Shes dope af.

A bit of advice:

-Be sure you want it before starting.
-Don’t go after it just to be called “Dr.”
-Run your race! It’s a journey!
-The best dissertation is one that is finished!

Good luck Dr. (Fill in the blank)
