  • Tackling Illiteracy
    2022/11/03

    Janet Kassoff is a senior program manager with The 2nd & 7 Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Columbus.

    Started in 1999 by former Ohio State football players Luke Fickell, Ryan Miller and Mike Vrabel, the foundation continues to make a difference by promoting literacy and providing positive role models for children across the nation through its Tackling Illiteracy reading program, which encourages second graders to read in classrooms all over the country and provides each of those children with a visit from a positive role model and a new book to take home. The foundation targets schools with economically disadvantaged students and communities where it can make the biggest impact.

    In this episode, Janet talks about the impact and growth of 2nd & 7, the foundation’s Hog Mollies book series, and the partnership with Baldwin Wallace’s student-athletes to take the reading program into area schools.

  • Charting a New Path
    2022/09/09

    Steve Ellison is president of the Ohio-based Minority Athletic Directors Association. In this episode, Steve shares stories about his career path, the formation and growth of MADA, and some of the challenges and opportunities facing athletic directors. 

    The Minority Athletic Directors Association, which was founded in 2013, is a group of men and women that serve as mentors who share information and strategies to facilitate success in high school athletic administration. When the association was created, there were approximately 400-500 athletic directors regionally, and few were either minorities or women. MADA decided to be a catalyst, bringing this community of professionals into the next generation of inclusion and innovation.

    The association currently has 21 athletic directors as active members, representing 13 different local schools. The group also recruits veteran athletic directors as well as aspiring athletic directors to create a comprehensive mentorship network. Learn more at their website (madaohio.com).
