RH: Black History Month Wraps Up With Panel Discussion

By Paul Suellentrop

Three former Wichita State student-athletes summed up their college experience by advising current Shockers to dive in when given a chance to expand their experience.

That approach, they said, will pay off athletically, academically and with a career.

"Mingle," said Angela Buckner. "Know no stranger. People will remember you. People want to give student-athletes opportunities."

Buckner, women's basketball (2000-04); DePaul Brewer, track and field (2004-2007) and Dr. Eric Sexton, golf (1983-1986) spoke at Monday's Black History Month athlete panel discussion, sponsored by Wichita State's Athletics Diversity and Inclusion Council at Koch Arena.
