This year the NCAA and the NE10, in partnership with the Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee (MOIC) and Student-Athlete Advisory Committees (SAACs), are excited share the stories of our amazing student-athletes as part of this year's Diversity & Inclusion Campaign. Day 1 focuses on "My Story Matters", which explores student-athletes' identities, perspectives, and experiences.
We've captured some of the best pieces from around the NE10 below and to view the stories of thousands more student-athletes across the nation, search the hashtag #NCAAInclusion or #MyStoryMatters on Instagram and Twitter.
