WNBA Hall Of Famer Chamique Holdsclaw To Feature In 2026 Osaze Osagie Memorial Lecture

Former WNBA player and Hall of Famer Chamique Holdsclaw will speak at the third annual Osaze Osagie Memorial Lecture on March 31. The event, part of the “Global Black Communities and Mental Health” series, will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Hintz Family Alumni Center’s Robb Hall.
Holdsclaw, who was a standout at Tennessee in the 1990s, dealt with mental health issues that impacted her playing career. The lecture will go in depth on her experiences and her documentary, “Mind/Game: The Unquiet Journey of Chamique Holdsclaw.”
The lecture series, which honors Osaze Osagie, began in 2024. Osagie was killed by police in 2019 during a mental health crisis. The Penn State College of Liberal Arts aims to advance research and help Black communities through this event.
Holdsclaw will also attend a screening of her documentary at 1 p.m. on March 30 and a “Lunch and Learn” at noon on March 31. All three events are free; however, the “Lunch and Learn” and the screening require prior registration.
