Through My Lens is a monthly feature sponsored by CoSIDA’s Executive Board of Directors as part of its Racial and Social Justice initiative in conjunction with CoSIDA’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee. Through member stories, the series illustrates the differences and similarities that make us stronger as people and professionals.
The October feature, below, is running on October 19 which is day one of the NCAA's three-day #NCAAInclusion Social Media Campaign. The October 19th theme is "My Voice. My Platform." The day explores identities, perspectives, and experiences of NCAA members and student-athletes as they share who they are and how they lead on their campuses and within their organizations.
Born in India, Avi Mehta moved to New Jersey at the age of 10. He quickly developed a passion for sports, but soon realized that playing sports professionally was not going to be feasible. He wondered what career path would allow him to still do something with his passion for sports.
Fast forward to now, Avi is now the Director of Strategic Communications with Texas A&M - Commerce Athletics. The Lions recently made the official announcement that they will be moving from Division II to the Division I Southland Conference, which will change the entire look of the athletic communications office.
In October’s Through My Lens series, CoSIDA intern Brandon Jones discusses the challenges and opportunities that becoming a Division I program brings as well as some background information on Avi and his advice to young professionals in athletic communications.
