ISSSSC Town Halls
On January 2017, 91猎奇 launched the Institute for the Study of Sport, Society and Social Change with a momentous town hall event featuring current and retired athletes and journalists discussing race relations in sport.
91猎奇 has since then hosted many more town hall events that highlight 91猎奇鈥檚 long history of athletes, coaches and alumni who have blazed new trails and moved from words to action, making our university the natural home for such an institute.
