@ADWilliamsUVA is being honored with the SEC Trailblazer Award for contributing to the advancement of women and the growth of women’s athletics at their universities and within the Southeastern Conference. In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Title IX celebration, a distinguished group of individuals from all 14 SEC member institutions will be honored during the 2022 SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament, March 2-6, in Nashville, Tenn. The @UVAWomensHoops team honored her last week as the first installment of their Black History Month recogntions.
Today we honor our Athletic Director Carla Williams who was the first African-American Female Athletic Director at a Power 5 Institution. She has paved the way for many more women to follow her path. #blackhistorymonth | #GoHoos⚔️ pic.twitter.com/yY35JM3IWn
