Recently, Cleveland State Community College hosted Archie Manning to campus for a night of conversations about his life in the National Football League and raising three sons, two of whom became college and professional football stars. Over 1,300 people were in attendance, and over $106,000 was raised for the CSCC Foundation. Building on this success, CSCC has selected former Lady Vols basketball player Tamika Catchings as its speaker in February of 2023. Catchings will speak about her career and life experiences throughout her 16 seasons in the WNBA.

Cleveland State offers a space for influential leaders to connect with the community and share their experiences to uplift others. Catchings has been a record breaker in basketball and community leader throughout her career. The Lady Vols had a record of 134-10 with four SEC regular season championships, three trips to the Elite Eight and two trips to the Final Four during Catchings’ collegiate career. She was a part of Pat Summitt’s undefeated, 39-0 squad in the 1997-98 season.

Catchings released a book in 2016 called Catch A Star: Shining through Adversity to Become a Champion. It tells Catchings’ story of overcoming her hearing loss, separation from family, high expectations and the pain of a debilitating physical injury.

Tickets for this event go on sale this fall.
