DESCRIPTION:Kathleen M. Kunkler\, who is the Senior Vice President and Glob
 al Sports and Entertainment Director\, at Morgan Stanley will facilitate t
 he panel discussion with 13-year WNBA veteran Essence Carson and former NB
 A player and Director of Basketball Player Development of the Connecticut 
 Sun Awvee Storey.\n\nOver the past year\, no sports entity or person was m
 ore active in the social justice movement than the WNBA and its members. I
 n the summer of 2020\, the league announced the Justice Movement campaign 
 and the formation of the social justice council to be a driving force of c
 ontinuing conversations about race\, voting rights\, LGBTQ+ advocacy\, and
  gun control amongst other important societal issues.\n\nThroughout the se
 ason\, players\, executives\, and coaches from all 12 of the league’s te
 ams were actively creating change through the Black Lives Matter and #SayH
 erName initiatives in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd\, Breonna Tay
 lor\, and countless others. The league also spearheaded a widespread votin
 g campaign to educate those on how to vote and the importance of making th
 eir voices heard.\n\nOberlin College has also spent much of the past year 
 recommitting itself to being leaders in this space and is proud to partner
  with the WNBA to lean in and learn during this special event.\n\n“The w
 omen of the WNBA using their platform to bring attention to the societal i
 nequalities that exist is inspiring. Oberlin sharing an evening during Bla
 ck History Month with the WNBA is a natural match with the current Preside
 ntial Initiative and our rich history of advocacy\,” said Associate Vice
  President for Athletics Advancement and Delta Lodge Director of Athletics
  & Physical Education Natalie Winkelfoos.
