The great paradox
Xena: Warrior Princess was a real historical figure whose life and adventures were recorded in "The Xena Scrolls", which the Nazis discovered hidden deep within an ancient Egyptian Pyramid, before slotting the scrolls away. Her nickname was "Eris".
Hollywood sent a production team back in time to make a documentary series released under the title of "Xena: Warrior Princess" (narrated by David Attenborough). Critics pointed out that Xena was not part of Greek mythology nor was it historically 'accurate' in regards to its depictions of well known people, but Hollywood claimed "creative license", as it traditionally does when making movies about how the Americans defeated Hannibal at Carthage, conquered Mesopotamia, and invented Ireland.

3 Her Courage Will Change the World
The Power[edit]
The Early Years[edit]
Xena, Warrior Princess was born in 1912 to a poor family of Traveling People outside Madrid. Initially a scrawny, dirty child, she became the family champion after ripping a wild dog's leg off and beating him to death with it when he attacked her little brother, Xenu. After this odd occurrence, her family and the surrounding villages fed her well, believing her to be the Chosen One, and worshiping her as Our Lady of the Chakram.
The Battle for Madrid[edit]
In 1928, Spain, then ruled by a benevolent Green Lantern monarch, was attacked by the forces of evil, led by El Cid, a colossal war-strider forged in the heart of Tartarus by Peter Jackson and Al Gore. The people were sore afraid, but they took heart as Xena strode forth and challenged El Cid to single combat. Armed with only a string of fish -- offerings from the coastal peoples who loved her so well -- and her own well-conditioned hair, she ripped El Cid's orichalchum arms from their sockets and, not deigning to beat him to death with them, instead stuck them up his nose and left him to die of mortification.
The Passion[edit]
The Stations of the Chakram[edit]
Religious Xena
The religion of Spain is based on surreal ancestor-worship, and for many years it became the yearly custom for the villagers to worshipfully crucify Xena so that she could bear with her supernatural strength all the sins of Spain. This story has been distorted over time and distance and has become the story of Jesus, because people can't bear the idea that a hot chick suffered for their sins. Instrumental in the cover-up was Mel Gibson, who is a clockwork minion of Peter Jackson, driven by pure butt-fuzz.
The Sidekick[edit]
Eventually, Xena got sick of the repeated crucifixions, and moved to the beautiful Island of Lesbos, where she met Hippolyta, the strawberry-blonde Queen of the Amazon. Her beauty overcame Xena, and she spent the rest of her life engaged in writing middling poetry and performing pair yoga, except when the island was threatened with sea monsters. On such occasions, she would don her traditional gold lame hotpants and destroy the foul beast for the entertainment of the troops and the instruction of the children.
Her Courage Will Change the World[edit]
Xena on the beaches of New Zealand ...uh, I mean Greece
Though Xena died in Hippolyta's arms in the year 2003, her body disappeared, along with her hot-pants and her chakram, and she became a Force ghost and will return to save us all from the zombie armies of Bruce Campbell's chin at the end of days.
Actress Xena abandoned her lover Gabrielle Mcmuff and defected to the Battlestar Galactica clan in 2005 for a bite of a twix bar and communist membership.

Bruegel in Black and White (Royal Library of Belgium)
Bruegel is widely-considered one of the greatest painters in art history, but did you know that he was actually more famous for his prints during his lifetime? The Royal Library of Belgium (Koninklijke Bibliotheek van België, KBR) has done pioneering work in the rediscovery of Bruegel's lesser-known masterpieces. The KBR's entire collection of prints by Bruegel will be exhibited in 2019, during the Bruegel year. In the 16th century, Flanders was known as the epicentre of the production of, and trade in, prints. Pieter Bruegel the Elder and his publisher Hieronymus Cock played a prominent role in this evolution. The exhibition 'The World of Bruegel in Black and White' revolves around their superb craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit. The emphasis is on the originality of Bruegel's graphic output, which is a full-fledged sub-oeuvre, alongside his paintings. Admire Bruegel's original preliminary sketches, his Italian landscapes, The Seven Deadly Sins, The Virtues and other stunning prints. Immerse yourself in Bruegel's imaginary world and marvel at the striking figures and details in his prints. This extraordinary exhibition is organised in the period rooms of the palace of Charles of Lorraine, a unique 18th century edifice in the centre of Brussels.

Evora and Ladwig Not Breaking Up. Not Retiring.
By LauraS May 18, 2011, 10:19am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Evora and Ladwig Not Breaking Up. Not Retiring.
Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig, two-time Nationals runners up, have made news by not splitting up their pair and by not retiring. I guess that goes against recent trends.
Bradenton.com reports that the Olympians will compete in the 2011-12 season. The two took time off to reassess whether they wanted to continue, and they came to the decision to keep going, aim for a national title, and stay with coach Jim Peterson.
I think Evora and Ladwig have an obvious shot at a national title this season but they were a bit of a disappointment last season, which culminated in an 11th place finish at worlds. Hopefully they'll have more success this year.

Včelka Mája je fiktivní pohádková postava včely. Svojí povahou je dobrácká, dobromyslná, veselá, málokdy se rozčílí a každému ráda pomůže, často velmi ovlivňuje dění na louce. Narodila se v úle jako každá jiná včela. V úle se postupně skamarádila s Vilíkem, který jí pomohl s útěkem z úlu. Poté se ale vydal za ní, aby ji přivedl nazpátek, což se mu nepodařilo, proto s ní zůstal na louce.

Zatímco v dílech původního seriálu žije Mája daleko od úlu, bez kontaktu s včelami v něm žijícími, tak v novém 3D seriálu bydlí v těsné blízkosti úlu a denně jej navštěvuje. Zároveň svému úlu pomáhá, především díky svým známostem na louce. Ale na začátku nového seriálu ji Soudce Včelí Vosk chtěl vyhnat od úlu, což mu včelí královna rozmluvila. Nakonec povolila Máje žít na louce v blízkosti úlu. Mája je natolik zvědavá, že musí všechno vidět a zkusit, a to ji a Vilíka často dostává do problémů. Vilík jí všude doprovází, například zůstanou uprostřed velkého jezera či v podzemí, nebo se Mája rozhodne přečkat i přes zimu mimo úl. Ve svém životě už byla i mravenčím velitelem a dělníkem. Zároveň jí také šlo několikrát o život a dokonce se jednou obětovala a dobrovolně nechala zamotat do pavučiny pavouka Tekly jako náhrada za chyceného brouka. Zachránila také mnoho dalšího hmyzu, včetně vlastního včelstva, které varovala před sršním útokem. Zachránila také samotné královny. Mája se k nikomu nikdy nechová agresivně i když by to bylo v dané situaci naprosto normální, a není škodolibá. Povaha Máji zůstává v 3. sérii přibližně stejná, jako v předchozích dvou.

Vzhled
Její vzhled je na rozdíl od ostatních animovaných postav hodně proměnlivý. V prvních 50 dílech (1. řada z roku 1975) je její hlava kulatá, zatímco v dalších dílech (2. řada, 1979) je spíše šišatá.

V novém seriálu (2012), který je animován ve 3D, má Mája přibližně stejnou hlavu jako v 1. řadě, ale je výrazně hubenější a má delší tykadla. Přestože je Mája včela, zbarvením je mnohem podobnější vose (má žlutočerné pruhy). Jako většina ostatních animovaných postav má jen čtyři prsty. V mimoseriálové podobě (na plakátech nebo na obrázcích) má v kreslené verzi oči vždy u sebe, což v seriálu nikdy nemá. Ve 3D filmech má podobu téměř stejnou jako v 3D seriálu, jen je chlupatá jako čmelák.

Vztahy s ostatními postavami seriálu

S většinou obyvatel louky má Mája dobré vztahy a na louce je nejoblíbenější a nejvlivnější postavou. Její největší přítel je Vilík a naopak nejvíce problémů má s Teklou, v novém seriálu ale Tekla patří mezi ty postavy, co si Máji nijak nevšímají a naopak jí tam nejvíce znepříjemňuje život trojice vos, které se neustále snaží včelám ukrást med.

Perceptions of Mental Health Concerns for Secondary Students with Disabilities during Transition to Adulthood
By Poppen, Marcus; Sinclair, James; Hirano, Kara; Lindstrom, Lauren; Unruh, Deanne
This study reports results from a national survey of education and community professionals regarding secondary level students with disabilities who were experiencing mental health concerns. A total of 648 professionals from 49 states completed the on-line survey. Respondents reported that almost half (48%) of their students with disabilities were experiencing some mental health concerns and that these concerns were not always addressed through the Individualized Education Program (IEP) and transition planning process provided under federal law. Major barriers to providing effective services included: (a) limited availability of resources; (b) challenging student behaviors; (c) family characteristics and involvement; (d) lack of collaboration between stakeholders; and, (e) need for professional development. Key strategies to improve outcomes included: (a) increasing access to services; (b) developing student skills; (c) involving parents and families; (d) building positive student/teacher relationship; and (e) increasing training and professional development opportunities.
Keywords: mental health, disability, secondary special education, transition services
National attention towards understanding and addressing mental health concerns in the classroom has increased during recent years, and schools are struggling to identify interventions and resources that will support the growing needs of students who exhibit these concerns (Abrams, 2005; Davis, Jivanjee, & Koroloff, 2010; Jacobstein, Stark, & Laygo, 2007; Heflinger & Hoffman, 2008; Rowling, 2007; Teich, Robinson, & Weist, 2007). This focus on mental health in schools at the national level is especially important as schools have been recognized as a natural setting for providing mental health treatment and prevention services to youth who are experiencing mental health concerns (Anglin, 2003).
One particularly vulnerable group of students with mental health concerns includes those with disabilities who are beginning to transition from adolescence to adulthood (Clark, Koroloff, Geller & Sondheimer, 2008; Rosenberg, 2008). For our study, the definition of young adults with disabilities includes students across all disability types who are receiving special education or related services through an IEP or a 504 Plan. Adolescence is characterized by numerous biological, cognitive, psychological, and social changes as youth transition from childhood to young adulthood; and the risk for behavior, mood and substance use disorders increases sharply during adolescence (Center for Disease Control, 2011). Comparatively, prior research has suggested that students with disabilities are more likely to experience mental health concerns than those without disabilities (Taggart, Cousins & Milner, 2007; Emerson & Hatton, 2007). In one study comparing the emotional, behavioral and mental health status of young adults with and without learning disabilities (LD), it was reported that young adults with LD were more likely to demonstrate emotional and behavioral problems than those without LD (Taggart, et al., 2007). Similarly, Emerson & Hatton (2007) found that individuals with intellectual disabilities were over six times more likely to experience a psychiatric disorder than those without an intellectual disability. These findings support the growing need to better understand mental health concerns among young adults with disabilities.
In addition to an increased likelihood of individuals with disabilities experiencing mental health concerns, previous research has suggested that individuals with disabilities and mental health concerns are at a greater risk for experiencing negative in-school and post-school outcomes. Studies have shown that students with mental health concerns have faced a number of in-school barriers, including decreased academic performance, and poor social skills and peer relationships (Barrett & Heubeck, 2000; Langley, Bergman, McCracken & Piacentini, 2004; Ma, 1999). …

Home Article CLOSING THOUGHTS ON NEW HAMPSHIRE.
CLOSING THOUGHTS ON NEW HAMPSHIRE.
I'm sitting in Logan Airport, about ready to board my plane back to DC. My main takeaway from the primaries? Covering them is exhausting. They're inescapably panoramic, messy, sprawling, and unpredictable. They don't lend themselves to graphs or data. The traditional methods of reportage only offer two ways to cover the race: From the campaign's point of view, or from the reporter's. Nobody knows how to cover it from the perspective of the voters (which is different than the perspective of a voter). In theory, very little of use is learned -- at least so far as the horserace coverage goes -- in advance of the results. But so very much is written. The end product entertains, but it only appears to inform. In reality, it speculates and arranges facts and observations such that they form plausible hypotheses on essentially unknowable questions -- questions that will, soon enough, be answered with real data. But being in such close proximity to the process is an emotional trip: Occasionally inspiring, often dispiriting, and always interesting. I was actually touched by the "political tourists" I found wandering the state; ordinary Americans who flew in, on their own dime, to watch, witness, and participate in this electoral epicenter. What a very, very cool thing. In the aggregate, though, campaign life is totally absorbing in a way that I imagine is very bad for campaign reporters, political operatives, and others who live in this realm. Thinking this much about campaigns -- which are, in effect and content, the commercial breaks of our democracy -- naturally leaves you thinking that victories, rather than policies and change, are the end point of the process. This much discussion of who's up and who's down habituates you to thinking about who's up and who's down. The fact that campaign reporting is one of the most broadly accepted paths to political punditry and analysis helps explain a fair number of the press's problems. If you're trained to think in terms of campaigns, then the whole of politics begins to look like one mega-campaign. It's the frame in which you know to evaluate events, and thus, it's how you evaluate them. But turning all of politics into a campaign isn't necessarily a good thing.


MARTINEZ, Calif. – Several local candidates for public office, as well as politicians not on the ballot this year, are taking heat for their alleged involvement in "hit pieces" coming through the mail, on social media and other outlets.
The biggest target has seemingly been Martinez City Councilwoman AnaMarie Avila Farias, in her run for Dist. 5 Supervisor.
Throughout the last few months, residents in Dist. 5, which encompasses Martinez, have received flyers in the mail alleging Farias falsified her time card as a County employee and pocketed $40,000 in affordable housing fees from the City.
Mayor Rob Schroder and councilmembers Lara DeLaney and Mark Ross were named and pictured on one of the anti-Farias mailers, appearing as though they approved of the negative message.
While DeLaney was absent at the Oct. 19 City Council meeting and as of presstime had not yet denounced her involvement in the hit piece, Schroder and Ross said at the meeting they were not involved and did not approve of the mailer.
The mailer falsified an account about a property in downtown Martinez Farias turned into an eight-unit housing development. Before the market crash of 2008, Farias voluntarily agreed to contribute $40,000 to a proposed affordable housing fund. The City of Martinez never officially set up the fund, so after the market crash, Farias petitioned the City to waive the voluntary commitment. By that time, the property's value had come into the range of affordable housing and her petition was granted. No taxpayer money was received for the project.
Another "hit piece" circulating about Farias alleges she falsified a time card stating she was at work while she was actually in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"Something's Fishy About Supervisor Candidate AnaMarie Avila Farias," the flyer reads, quoting Facebook posts Farias made while on vacation. "Taxpayer Funded" is scrolled across the six-page fold-out featuring photos of her trip.
Tom Powers, a former member of the Board of Supervisors and a major funding source of the flyer and other negative literature about Farias, also requested the District Attorney investigate alleged misuse of taxpayer funds. However, he failed to verify any of his claims.
Farias said in defense of the accusation that she is an independent contract employee.
"My job demands a non-traditional, flexible schedule. My hours are my own to determine. End of story," she said, stating the time card displayed on the "hit piece" was paid vacation time, and that her hours have never been questioned by her employer.
"This is a non-story generated by the sleazy political machine in this county desperate to protect their longtime champion – Supervisor Federal Glover," Farias said.
Supervisor Glover, whom Farias is challenging for the Dist. 5 Supervisor seat, has denied involvement in the negative ad campaign against Farias, stating he can't help what his supporters distribute.
Farias did not respond to Rossi's comments by presstime.
The City currently leases the Campbell Theater property at 636 Ward St. for $4,600 a month. OnStage Repertory Theatre manages the events and regularly produces their own plays, as well as hosting civic and other groups. And while the theater may play an important role in keeping the arts alive in Martinez, like their predecessor, Willows Theatre Co., OnStage has not yet been able to recoup the City's investment and become a sustainable entity.
"What I don't understand is spending money on something we don't get as much benefit from. We get more benefit from more police officers … being able to maintain our parks. To me, it's not practical," Gipner said.
Stevens said he believes the City is paying too much for the property, and advocated for the City "taking itself out of the loop" to let the theater company negotiate with the property owner in hopes a more reasonable monthly rent could be obtained. "Then if we want to support the theater in some way, we can decide if we want to give some funding to them to help assist them," Stevens said.
Masella-O'Brien echoed Gipner and Stevens' comments, saying she didn't believe the City should be entering into a lease for a private building. "There's other things the City can do to promote the arts. There's other sources of funding we can explore," she said.
The mayor reminded the candidates the agenda item was an informational update only, and not on the agenda for reconsideration. The lease term, with an additional three-year extension, was effective Sept. 1, 2015, and was accepted and filed.

Learn more about the NSF INCLUDES grant program here.
Wisconsin's Equity & Inclusion Laboratory (Wei LAB) Assistant Director and Senior Research Associate Dr. LaVar J. Charleston is the lead author of a new study, "Constructing self-efficacy in STEM graduate education," which appeared in the Journal for Multicultural Education this month.
In the study, Charleston and Dr. Raul Leon of Eastern Michigan University examined the lived experiences of African American science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduate students and faculty to understand their self-efficacy beliefs and outcomes expectations during their educational trajectory toward a computing, science-related degree.
"This study captures a novel space in the self-efficacy literature; presenting self-efficacy as a mobile construct to be reestablished or re-achieved even at the more advanced levels of degree attainment such as the Ph.D.," says Charleston. "With the continuous advancement of technologies, particularly in the STEM field of computing, it is necessary that an adequate socialization process occurs throughout the educational trajectory that enhances self-efficacy beliefs and strengthens students' commitment to attaining their academic and career goals."
Using in-depth interviews of graduate students and faculty in computing fields, Charleston and Leon found that self-efficacy must be reestablished at each stage of the educational trajectory, including during pursuit of the Ph.D., to ensure successful matriculation. Continuous exposure to behaviors that re-affirm self-efficacy—such as encouragement, socialization with peers and more advanced individuals, taking ownership as part of the academic and professional community, and the development and modification of efficacy beliefs—must exist in order for African American STEM aspirants to enter and succeed in the STEM academy and workforce.
"Our study confirms that the process of socialization in a career field is a prominent space where foundations for your professional development can be established and refined" Leon said. "With respect to the development of self-efficacy beliefs in the STEM field, we argue that it is a construct that must not be interpreted in isolation. Thus, there is an importance of understanding its evolving nature in both the academy and workforce."
The full research paper can be found here.
Previously Charleston, along with colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, found through research that Black women in STEM face unique obstacles of their own in the field.
Wisconsin's Equity & Inclusion Laboratory (Wei LAB) Assistant Director and Senior Research Associate Dr. LaVar J. Charleston received the Ball State University Black Alumni Award of Achievement designed to acknowledge successful young alumni. Charleston was recognized for his accomplishments by the Black Alumni Constituent Society (BACS) Board at their reunion event from August 5–7.
BACS recognizes the professional and community contributions of several accomplished alumni at each biennial reunion. Established in 2007, the Black Alumni Award of Achievement is presented to an active Ball State graduate of the last 20 years who has demonstrated notable success in their chosen career, and who has shown support of Ball State and their community.
"It is truly an honor to be recognized by the institution that is responsible for giving me a platform to excel, not just in college, but in life." Charleston said. "I am humbled that my efforts are viewed as honoring the legacy of my alma mater, Ball State. I hope my current work in some way contributes to breaking down barriers for college attendance and success for underrepresented groups. "
Charleston graduated with a bachelor's degree in Public Relations and a concentration in Marketing from Ball State University in 2002. He was a Division I athlete and received several awards including the Ray Louthen Senior Leadership Award and the Mid-American Conference (MAC) West Championship for Football in 2001. Charleston later became an assistant director of admissions at Ball State, before transitioning to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The International Colloquium on Black Males in Education (ICBME) is proud to sponsor the annual meeting of the Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color (COSEBOC). COSEBOC and ICBME have related visions in that each function to improve the educational outcomes of boys and young men of color. Nearly 1,000 school administrators, practitioners, and policy makers from around the nation will gather this week in New York City for the Tenth Annual Gathering of Leaders to build a stronger leadership network, attend professional development workshops, and listen to a variety of panels describing promising practices of schools that are increasing the academic success of boys and young men of color. Wei LAB and the ICBME wish COSEBOC a successful event and congratulates all attendees for continuing the struggle to improve the lives of boys and young men of color.

Wei LAB Director and Vilas Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Dr. Jerlando F. L. Jackson will speak at "The Future of Diversity Research," held at the University of Michigan May 18-20. Jackson will lead a discussion on effective and successful scholarly publication in academia. Jackson will also serve on an expert panel, "Transforming Understandings of Diversity in Higher Education."
Organized by the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID), "The Future of Diversity Research" convenes researchers from around the country for roundtable discussions, paper presentations, workshops, and networking. Over the course of his career, Jackson has published dozens of papers and is credited with over 100 publications from which he will translate expertise and insight to meeting participants. Jackson previously held an NCID Visiting Senior Scholar appointment, 2008-2009.
Wisconsin's Equity & Inclusion Laboratory (Wei LAB) has released the first details of the 5th Annual International Colloquium on Black Males in Education (ICBME). In partnership with Bermuda College, this year's landmark event will be held in Hamilton, Bermuda on October 4-7, 2016. Information regarding registration, invitations to participate, and the theme for this year's Colloquium will be announced in the coming weeks.
Sponsored by the Wei LAB and the Todd Anthony Bell National Resource Center on the African American Male at the Ohio State University, ICBME has become a trademark event in the Wei LAB's work around educational equity. The announcement to host the event in Bermuda, made by Wei LAB Director and co-founder of ICBME Dr. Jerlando F. L. Jackson, follows months of careful planning and a site visit.
"We are thrilled to mark the 5th year of this important meeting by holding our Colloquium on the island of Bermuda in October," Jackson said. "I believe Bermuda will serve as a unique backdrop and offer meaningful context to the global issues faced by Black males."
Dr. James L. Moore III, Executive Director of the Bell National Resource Center and co-founder of ICBME, echoes similar sentiments. "Bermuda is an excellent place to have the Colloquium because of its close proximity to the United States and its long-standing commitment to improve educational outcomes for Bermudian males," Moore said. "Similar to other Caribbean countries, Bermudian males are not performing optimally in education, which makes this country a desirable place to have the Colloquium."
Previous ICBME meetings were held in Leeds, England, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Atlanta, Georgia and Kingston, Jamaica. Each year, ICBME brings together researchers, high-impact practitioners, funders, policymakers, students, and concerned citizens to engage in conversations regarding the state of affairs for Black boys and men, with focus around a particular theme. The 2015 theme was "Creating Opportunity Through Education: Re-Engineering the Social Ecosystem for Black Males." Last year's ICBME drew a record 400 local and international participants over the course of four days, beginning with the College Academy at the Haile Selassie High School in Trench Town, and the Graduate School Academy at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus.
In the coming months, the Wei LAB will continue to release details on registration, calls for research proposals, keynote speakers and schedules. The Wei LAB invites all interested parties to connect on Twitter, Facebook and the Wei LAB website for ICBME updates.

Wei LAB Director and Chief Research Scientist Dr. Jerlando F. L. Jackson, Assistant Director and Senior Research Associate Dr. LaVar J. Charleston, and Research Associate DeVon Wilson attended the 2016 Black Student-Athlete Summit at the University of Texas at Austin on Jan. 6-8. Wei LAB served as a summit sponsor, and staff presented research findings on student-athletes. Their presentation, "Beyond the Game™: Building a National Replication Model of a Highly Effective Student-Athlete Development Program," examined the Beyond the Game™ (BTG) initiative designed by the Wei LAB.
"The presentation allowed us to showcase our efforts to replicate BTG™ through the university start-up BTG Solutions LLC, and the pilot with Northern Illinois University's Athletic Department," Jackson said.
Hosted by the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin, the annual summit brings together scholars, coaches, athletic directors, academic advisors and present and former professional and student-athletes to "openly examine and candidly discuss the numerous and complex issues surrounding the black student-athlete." This year's theme was "Success Both On and Off the Field." The 2016 conference offered presentations on topics such as Black women in college sports, family and the Black student-athlete, careers paths and models for success implemented at various universities, such as Beyond the Game™.
"The Black Student-Athlete Summit provided scholars, practitioners, and student athletes with an opportunity to engage in a national conversation about the state of Black Student Athletes in intercollegiate athletics," Wilson said. "More importantly, it became clear that BTG is promising solution for addressing the important issues highlighted at this meeting. As a senior college-level administrator, I realize that the responsibility for the success of black student athletes go beyond the athletic department," Wilson said.
"We feel we have a gem with BTG, a program that enables student athletes to look beyond their athletic careers, and take advantage of opportunities to transfer their skills and abilities to their academic and occupational goals and trajectories while still at the university," Charleston said.
"Because our goal is for all student-athletes to be successful, through BTG, we are continuing to promote innovative ways to broaden their networks, enhance their career development opportunities outside of sports, enlighten them to the possibilities of viable careers outside of athletics, and ultimately, enhancing their post-graduate outcomes."
