Kerri Walsh Jennings & Tara VanDerveer – Chautauqua Lecture Series

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.

Kerri 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.

Tara 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.
