NEW YORK -- BIG EAST Conference Commissioner Val Ackerman was joined by a cross section of sports executives, non-profit leaders, government officials and athletes at a roundtable workshop held on October 16 in Vatican City, Rome to explore the beneficial impact of sport on society and to encourage sports programs that foster human, educational and spiritual growth. The meeting was an outgrowth of the Vatican-inspired Sport at the Service of Humanity (SSH) initiative, which was established in 2016 to promote global solidarity, inclusion, peace and positive social change. Players Coalition (PC) and Sport for Impact co-hosted the event, and PC co-founder Anquan Boldin, 2015 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, participated in the workshop.
