February 2007

Dear Colleague:

Diverse: Issues In Higher Education is gearing up once again to present the 14th Annual Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars Awards to outstanding student-athletes of color from the nation’s colleges and universities.

Following the nomination and review process, the recipients of this year’s awards will be announced in the April 5, 2007 edition of Diverse. This special report will also feature articles examining the role of athletics in higher education and how minority students are able to contribute to their respective institutions as both scholars and athletes.

This special report offers you a tremendous opportunity to express how your institution or organization reaches out to - and recognizes the achievements of - minority student athletes. It also allows you to pay tribute to the legacy of Arthur Ashe Jr. and his commitment to education.

Seize the unique opportunity offered by the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar Awards special report to present your institutional message, advance your diversity mission statement or tell your diversity story. Your advertisement on the pages of this special report will travel distances you cannot imagine and be seen in every corner of American higher education, business, government and beyond. It is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.

Please contact our advertising department at 703-385-2400 or diverseads@diverseeducation.com , and we will personally address your needs.

Sincerely,

William E. Cox Jr.
