Albany, GA – Albany State University is proud to announce that Adam Okashah has been selected to participate in the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship Program for the 2024-25 class. This prestigious fellowship, now in its fourth year, aims to cultivate leadership and promote diversity in college athletics and continues its partnership with the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.

"Adam's selection to the CSC Inclusion Fellowship speaks volumes about his drive to expand his skillset and make a greater impact," said Dr. Kristene Kelly, Director of Athletics. "His willingness to step outside his current role and dive into Strategic Communications is a true testament to the NCAA Division II 'Make It Yours' mantra."

The CSC Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship Program offers participants the opportunity to engage in professional development and network with industry leaders. The program is designed to foster an inclusive culture within college sports communications and provide individuals with the tools to enhance diversity initiatives on their campuses and within the broader sports community.
Albany State is excited about Adam's involvement in this fellowship and looks forward to the contributions he will bring back to our community.
