EXPOSITION, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit media organization based at USC, is hosting a Sports and Mental Health Panel aimed at empowering student-athletes to embrace and share their identities beyond their sport. The event will provide a safe and open space for student-athletes to discuss mental health, personal growth, and the challenges that come with balancing academics, athletics, and identity.

Through this panel, EXPOSITION hopes to challenge stereotypes commonly associated with the student-athlete experience, raise awareness about mental health, and encourage athletes to build their personal brands in their own words. The ultimate goal is to promote authenticity, vulnerability, and empowerment within the student-athlete community.

This program is open to all eligible individuals. USC Annenberg operates all of its programs and activities consistent with the University’s Notice of Non-Discrimination. Eligibility is not determined based on race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other prohibited factor.
