| co-sponsors,
with Intercollegiate Athletics |

| On November 2, Mariah Burton Nelson will draw on her expertise as an athlete and author, using stories, video, current research, audience participation, and lots of humor to offer people at Radford University the motivation and the tools they need to heal, to lead, and to achieve great things. Nelson is the author of The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football: Sexism and the American Culture of Sports, that was nominated for awards by the Center for the Study of Sport in Society and the North American Society for Sport Sociology. Her first book, Are We Winning Yet? How Women Are Changing Sports and Sports Are Changing Women, received the Amateur Athletic Foundation’s Book Award. Her most recent book, The Unburdened Heart, draws on her poignant story of betrayal and reconciliation, along with new psychological research, ancient spiritual wisdom, poetry, and original interviews with others who have forgiven for offenses great and small. Nelson majored in psychology at Stanford (’78), and later received a masters in public health from San Jose State University. At Stanford she averaged 19 points per game on the basketball team and was the captain and leading scorer and rebounder her last three years. She continued to play basketball for professional teams in France and the United States (Women’s Basketball League). In 1995 Nelson was presented with the National Organization for Women’s award for excellence in sports writing. In 1996 she received the National Association of Girls and Women in Sport’s Guiding Woman in Sport Award and was inducted into the National Girls and Women in Sport Symposium Hall of Fame. Nelson currently competes in masters swimming events, specializing in the 1500-meter freestyle; her time is in the top five nationally for her age group. She also coaches her mother, Sarah Burton Nelson, who recently set two Arizona state breaststroke records for women aged 70-74. Prepare to be inspired when you attend Mariah Burton Nelson’s talk at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2, in Radford University’s Preston Auditorium. Please announce to your classes, and see Pat Connolly if you would like more information. *****The next day from 2-4 pm on Friday, she has offered to host a more personal discussion session with faculty members. It will be held in the Blue Ridge Conference Room, Heth hall. Please RSVP by e-mail (wstudies@runet.edu) or call 831-6143 if you plan on attending this session, as registration is required.
