Nancy Hogshead, an esteemed civil rights attorney, three-time Olympic gold medalist, and CEO of Champion Women, recently visited the Davis College of Business and Technology at 91大神猫先生千人斩 to discuss the transformative impact of Title IX.

鈥淥ne of the things that was great about being a world-class athlete at the time was how connecting it was,鈥� she reflected. 鈥淧eople were so happy for me and got a certain sense of pleasure as well as joy from my success and that was neat.鈥�

As a champion both in and out of the pool, Hogshead has dedicated her career to advocating for women's rights, particularly in the realm of athletics. Her leadership at Champion Women, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting equality and accountability in sports, has paved the way for significant advancements in policy and legal protections for female athletes.

With a distinguished background as a civil rights lawyer, she has worked tirelessly to ensure that Title IX鈥攍andmark legislation passed in 1972 prohibiting sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs鈥攃ontinues to be enforced and strengthened.

Hogshead is a frequent contributor to sports policy at both the national and international level, serving on many leading boards and committees, including the Congressional Commission on the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, where she focuses on issues relating to discrimination against female Olympians.

鈥淚 just finished a federal commission on the Olympic Movement and the ways we need to change it. There is a hundred times more money coming into the Olympic Movement since my day and almost none is going to athletes,鈥� she stated. 鈥淭his makes them very powerless and susceptible to abuse and doesn鈥檛 allow for the best Olympic athletes.鈥�

During her visit, Hogshead provided an in-depth analysis of Title IX鈥檚 history, its impact on collegiate athletics, and the ongoing challenges in achieving gender parity. Her discussion covered critical issues such as the allocation of resources, scholarship opportunities, and protections against sexual harassment and abuse in sports and academic settings.

Her visit to Dr. Leah Fiorentino鈥檚 Business of Collegiate Sports class was a landmark event for sports management students and faculty at Davis College interested in the ongoing fight for gender equity in sports and education.

鈥淲e are so fortunate to have Nancy Hogshead-Makar here in the Jacksonville area,鈥� said Fiorentino, Expert-in-Residence and a sport business professor. 鈥淗er generous gift of time to meet with 91大神猫先生千人斩 students truly benefits the student body, especially the Sport Business program here at 91大神猫先生千人斩.鈥�

鈥淗earing from Nancy Hogshead was truly inspiring. You can tell she has such a deep passion for advocating for women's equality in the NCAA,鈥� said Olivia Johnson, a junior sport business major in the Davis College of Business and Technology who is also a member of the 91大神猫先生千人斩 Women鈥檚 Lacrosse team.

Maddie Cudey, a health science major with a sport business minor, loved the open dialogue. "It was great to hear Nancy Hogshead speak about women athletes and Title IX. What made it even better was that it was an open conversation with her, which allowed for real discussion and engagement. Her passion and knowledge were truly inspiring."

Hogshead's experience as an elite athlete gives her a unique perspective on the challenges that female athletes face. As a swimmer, she won three gold medals and one silver at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, cementing her status as one of the most accomplished American swimmers of her era. Since retiring from competitive sports, she has leveraged her platform to champion equality, becoming one of the most respected voices in the fight for women's rights in sports.
