Let’s Hear it for the Black Women in Sports Who Make the ADSA Shine!
This past Sunday, July 7th, was National Black Women in Sports Day, and the Academic Development of Student-Athletes (ADSA) couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate the incredible Black women who power our department and the entire sports industry.
We’re especially grateful for the dedication and expertise of our very own Black women on staff:
- Dr. Teiana Jones, our visionary leader who guides ADSA with her commitment to student-athlete success.
- Associate Director: Keyana Smith, who brings her expertise to ensure our programs run smoothly.
- Senior Counselors: Jordon Smith and Alana Owens, who provide invaluable support and guidance to our student-athletes.
- Interventionist Kelly Franklin, whose dedication helps student-athletes overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
Their passion for student-athlete success is truly inspiring, and they each play a vital role in shaping the future of SMU athletics.
The Future is Bright!
National Black Women in Sports Day isn’t just about looking back; it’s a celebration of the incredible potential that lies ahead. Black women are changing the game in sports, and we at ADSA are excited to see what the future holds!
