SUMMARY:NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines Talk
DESCRIPTION:番茄社区 University will welcome Riley Gaines as a guest speaker on January 31\, 2024 at 6:00 pm in the Roland Fine Arts Center.\n\nThe event is free and open to the public\, however tickets do need to be secured through www.hlg.edu/free-society. The tickets are free except there is a handling fee through the ticket website. For group tickets\, call 573.629.3260 or email FreeSociety@hlg.edu.\n\nThis event is part of the Free Society Speaker Series that HLGU hosts in partnership with the Moorman Foundation.\n\nRiley Gaines is a leader defending women鈥檚 single-sex spaces\, advocating for equality and fairness\, and standing up for women鈥檚 safety\, privacy\, and equal opportunities.\n\nGaines graduated from the University of Kentucky\, where she was a 12x All-American swimmer.\n\nRiley has made waves for speaking out after tying UPenn鈥檚 Lia Thomas\, a biological male swimmer on the women鈥檚 team\, at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women鈥檚 Swimming & Diving Championships.\n\nAfter Riley directly experienced competing against a man in women鈥檚 sports\, being forced without warning or consent to undress before the fully intact male\, and subjected to discrimination by the NCAA\, she became one of the most powerful voices to speak out against the injustice\, challenging the rules of the NCAA\, USA Swimming\, International Olympic Committee (IOC)\, and other governing bodies.\n\nRiley now works for the leading women鈥檚 organization making real and lasting change\, legally defining 鈥榳oman\,鈥� protecting Title IX\, and defending women鈥檚 rights to single-sex spaces and equal opportunities. She has traveled the country speaking and has testified before the U.S. Senate\, U.S. House\, and countless state legislatures.\n\n鈥淗LGU is grateful and excited for the opportunity to host Riley Gaines on campus as part of our Free Society Speaker Series. Her commitment and quest to save women鈥檚 sports from the growing threat of individuals and entities within our culture who are determined to deconstruct gender is admirable.鈥� says Dr. Eric Turner\, Christian Studies Division Chair at HLGU.\n\nGaines currently works for the Riley Gaines Foundation through the Leadership Institute which empowers and equips individuals to stand up for what is right. Gaines also speaks on laws concerning Title IX to keep biological women in women鈥檚 sports. She has given her testimony before the U.S. Senate\, U.S. House\, and multiple state legislatures.\n\n鈥淲e believe that her cause is shared and accentuated by HLGU鈥檚 core value of promoting a biblical worldview. For us\, this event is an honor to host but also an important one for communicating and contributing our voice to this critical cause.鈥� says Turner.\n\nFor more information about this event and the Free Society Speaker Series at HLGU\, email FreeSociety@hlg.edu or call 573.629.3260.
