On Thursday, April 4, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. (Pacific), the Sports @ HI Initiative of the Humanities Institute at Arizona State University is hosting a free event to honor Ramgoi Huma, the Executive Director of the National College Players Association. This event is open to the public, in person on the Tempe Campus but it will also be livestreamed.
Description: The growth of the big business of college sports has accelerated over the past quarter-century, and the pressures athletes have faced to balance academic and athletic roles and responsibilities have exacerbated in tandem. For over two decades Ramogi Huma has served as the nation’s leading advocate for athletes’ rights, serving as Executive Director of the National College Players Association, testifying before Congress to improve conditions and protections for athletes, convincing state legislatures and federal courts that athletes’ economic justice is a racial justice issue, and creating the conditions for a massive general public shift in perspectives on college sports. For this work, the Humanities Institute at Arizona State University is honored to be awarding Ramogi Huma its inaugural Sports @ HI community service award.
