University of Tulsa sophomore football student-athlete Akayleb Evans, along with Assistant Athletics Director for Academic and Student Services Schnea Nealy, will make a presentation at the 5th Annual Black Student-Athlete Summit on the campus of the University of Texas, January 9-11.
The presentation is titled: Black Student-Athletes and Community Activism: The Power of Being More Than An Athlete. There will be a high volume of presentations at the summit and each oral presentation will be limited to 10 minutes with a 10-minute Q&A session with the audience afterwards.
