Marist Football To Host #SetTheExpectation Game On Nov. 2

Marist CSAE Partners With Brenda Tracy For Second Annual Event

POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist football team's home game against Butler on Saturday, Nov. 2 will be the Red Foxes' second annual #SetTheExpectation game.
 
#SetTheExpectation is a campaign that engages male athletes and their coaches as the solution to end sexual assault and physical violence. It is spearheaded by Brenda Tracy, who has traveled to college campuses nationwide to deliver her message, including Marist in the spring of 2017. The Red Foxes' participation in the campaign is led by Marist's Center for Student-Athlete Enhancement in partnership with Tracy. Sponors also include Marist's Title IX Office, Marist Dining Services, Marist's Chapter of It's On Us, and The Purple Thread.
 
The first #SetTheExpectation game at Marist took place on Oct. 20, 2018, when the Red Foxes' football team hosted Davidson.
 
There are several ways Saturday's #SetTheExpectation Game will be visible and able to be supported.
