about this project

State legislatures significantly impact our

day-to-day, yet are rather inaccessible to

students. As the states pass policies that

will impact students, it is important that

their voice is represented in policy

conversations. My project sought to

ensure that student-athletes were not

only able to have conversations with

lawmakers but also felt prepared for

those conversations. I achieved this by

leading a curriculum to guide policy

conversations and extending an invitation

to athletes to visit the Tennessee state

legislature in Nashville.
