Dr. Jennifer Jacobs | Head Volleyball Coach | Augustana University - One Question Leadership Podcast
Update: 2025-06-01
Description
@1QLeadership Question: What role does leadership play in shaping feelings of inclusion (or exclusion) among Black women in college athletics administration?
Dr. Jennifer Jacobs, Head Volleyball Coach at Augustana University, discusses her dissertation research outcomes after interviewing multiple Black women from all divisions of college athletics. One of the key findings is that the default for leadership is to be exclusionary, meaning helping people feel included is not automatic.
- There were no inclusionary moments that didn't have direct involvement with supervisors
- Inclusive leadership is an active process
Dr. Jacobs also talked about her fundraising process at Augustana, which supports 75% of her annual budget for the volleyball program. She has raised roughly $1 million over the past few years. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown
