SUMMARY:Kerri Walsh Jennings and Tara VanDerveer
DESCRIPTION:Continuing a weeklong celebration of “Icons and Instigators: Women Who Change History\,” Chautauqua welcomes two Olympic gold medalists for a conversation on the state of women’s sports\, and the outlook for emerging generations of women and girls in amateur and professional athletics.  \nKerri Walsh Jennings is a five-time Olympian\, three-time gold medalist\, and one of the most accomplished athletes in beach volleyball history. A standout at Stanford\, she was a four-time First Team All-American and helped lead the team to two NCAA championships\, before making the jump to the U.S. indoor Olympic team in 2000.  \nAfter that\, Jennings shifted to beach volleyball — and the game shifted with her. Partnering with Misty May-Treanor in 2001\, the duo went on an unprecedented run: three Olympic gold medals\, three World Championships\, and a 112-match win streak that set a new standard for excellence in the sport.  \nThough she stepped away from Olympic competition in 2023\, Jennings’ commitment to the sport is far from over. As a co-founder of Platform 1440 and a key stakeholder in the launch of Major League Volleyball\, she’s working to grow the game and expand opportunities for athletes at every level. She is deeply invested in creating systems that push people to grow — on the court and beyond.  \nTara VanDerveer is the second-winningest coach in NCAA basketball history\, having cemented herself over a 45-year career as one of the top coaches in the sport\, both collegiately and internationally. She is a member of both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. An ambassador for both Stanford University and the sport of college basketball\, VanDerveer enjoyed an unprecedented level of success through an energetic and positive approach to the game. Prior to coming to Stanford\, she served as head coach for Idaho and Ohio State.  \nPerhaps one of VanDerveer’s most notable attributes was her ability to connect with student-athletes and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of college athletics. Considered one of the nation’s premier recruiters\, VanDerveer and her staff routinely brought top classes to The Farm. VanDerveer led her Stanford teams to three NCAA Championships. She built Stanford into a national power almost immediately upon arrival and maintained an unparalleled level of success for over three and a half decades. Many of her players went on to have success at the professional level\, winning numerous games and awards while playing in the WNBA.  \nIn 1995–96 VanDerveer served as head coach of the USA Basketball National Team\, leading the team to a 52-0 exhibition record and then to the Olympic gold medal with a perfect 8-0 run at the 1996 Atlanta Games. In 1997\, she released her book Shooting From The Outside\, which chronicled her 1996 Olympic and National Team experience. VanDerveer is a graduate of Indiana University and held one of the starting guard positions for three years on the women’s basketball team.

SUMMARY:CVA Lecture Series: Guerrilla Girls
DESCRIPTION:For 40 years\, the Guerrilla Girls are anonymous artist activists who use disruptive headlines\, outrageous visuals and killer statistics to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in art\, film\, politics and pop culture. They believe in an intersectional feminism that fights for human rights for all people of all genders. They work to undermine the idea of a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory\, the subtext\, the overlooked\, and the unfair. The Guerrilla Girls have done hundreds of projects (street posters\, banners\, actions\, books\, and videos) all over the world. As well\, they produce interventions and exhibitions at art museums\, blasting institutions on their own walls for bad behavior and discriminatory practices\, including a stealth projection on the façade of the Whitney Museum about income inequality and the super-rich hijacking art. Guerrilla Girls retrospectives\, traveling exhibitions and interventions have attracted thousands at Tate Modern and Whitechapel Gallery\, London; São Paulo Museum of Art; the Venice Biennale; Van Gogh Museum\, Amsterdam; Museum of Military History\, Dresden; Art Basel Hong Kong; The Getty Center and many other places. Their latest book\, Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly collects hundreds of their projects from 1985 to 2020\, and was named one of the best art books of 2020 by The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. The Guerrilla Girls’ motto: Do one thing. If it works\, do another. If it doesn’t\, do another anyway. Keep chipping away!
