Edwards-Roberson to Represent SoCon at NCAA Leadership Forum

LEXINGTON, Va. - Women's soccer first classman Whitney Edwards-Roberson was selected to attend the NCAA Student–Athlete Leadership Forum in Houston, Texas this weekend.
 
The Chesapeake, Virginia, native was chosen among Southern Conference member schools to serve as the conference's cadet-athlete representative. The conference, created in 1997, has seen more than 5,000 NCAA student-athletes participate in a weekend of programming aimed at the development of leadership skills, understanding of relationship among personal values, core beliefs and behavioral styles and the building of a personal network of like-minded peers. This transformational opportunity allows participating student-athletes to realize their potential and return to their campuses to serve their fellow student-athletes.
 
Edwards-Roberson has served in various leadership roles both within athletics and on post. During the 2021-22 academic year, the women's soccer captain will additionally serve as the President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), the Vice President of Investigations for the Cadet Equity Association and President of the Promaji Club. On the soccer field, the forward has highlighted statistical categories within the program and played in over 48 games – including 34 starts - throughout her cadetship.
 
Attending the conference with Edwards-Roberson is former Keydet wrestler and current SoCon intern, Cliff Conway. During the 2020-21 academic year, Conway and Edwards-Roberson served as President & Vice President, respectively, of the SAAC.
