Inaugural American Athletic Conference Academic Consortium Symposium Dates Set For March 23 & 24 in Philadelphia
The inaugural American Athletic Conference Academic Consortium Symposium will be held March 23-24 at the Hilton at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The two-day event, hosted by Temple University, will focus on student-athlete well-being.
The symposium is expected to draw more than 60 faculty members, administrators, students and staff from American member institutions. Many of those attending are engaged in research at their schools in a variety of disciplines with regard to student-athlete well-being. Attendees will hear from keynote speakers and will have the opportunity to participate in discussions involving the areas of mental health, concussions, nutrition, eating disorders, substance abuse, personal development, career development and other related topics that have been identified as areas of importance in higher education and collegiate athletics.
During the symposium, inter-institutional teams will be formed in order to explore various educational and research opportunities. Those teams will present their findings at a later date. At the conclusion of the 2016-17 academic school year, five $10,000 grants will be awarded for further research in student-athlete well-being.
