The Impact for Women of Kalamazoo College Athletics: Good for the Athletes, Good for the College
Abstract
- This study hoped to investigate how
Kalamazoo College (K) Athletics affects the
complete experience of women athletes and
the entire campus community.
- By examining the specific experiences of K
female athletes, I can compare the athletic
experiences at K to the general population
of female athletes.
- Previous research has shown many
physical, mental, and social benefits in the
general population from participating in
athletics.
- I predict that athletics at K has a positive
impact on the overall experience of female
athletes, as well as helps to build a strong
connection to K.
- I believe that the more recently graduated
group will have had a more positive
experience due to the changes K has made
to its athletic programs
