College Identities Matrix
Presenter: Alonzo Jones
Date and time: Thursday, February 23, 2023 | 6–7:30 p.m. MST
Location: Online
Motivational speaker Alonzo “AJ” Jones explores the many identities that exist within college students and invites the audience to prioritize each identity in relation to their personal and educational goals. AJ will challenge students to reflect on their identities and achieve a better understanding of how they factor into their academic and personal success.
The son of a French white mother and Creole African American military father, AJ often lived in the grey areas of identity growing up. Entering and exiting different educational institutions, communities, cultures, and countries, culture and identity became tremendously important in shaping and developing his professional pathway and research areas.
AJ is currently the Associate Athletic Director for Championship Life at Arizona State University with oversight of the life skills programming for all student-athletes over a four-year period.
