Summary: The Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee has had the opportunity to utilize their partnership with Gatorade to put on a virtual event series available to underserved high schools and/or HBCU's across the country.

 The mission of the event series is to give BIPOC Sports Dietitians a platform to speak directly to young students about the field of sports nutrition.
