Wquinton Smith joined Wisconsin Athletics as the Assistant Direct of Inclusion & Engagement in October 2021.
Smith earned his Bachelor's degree in African-American/Black Studies (2011) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He later completed his Master's degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis (2017) at UW and is currently pursuing his doctoral degree in ELPA.
During his doctoral studies, he worked as a graduate research assistant (2019-2021) and is currently studying how former Black student-athletes make meaning of their academic, social, and athletic experiences at predominantly white institutions. He hopes to find what effects their level of engagement as alumni due to the perception of their lived experience as undergraduates.
A four-year letterwinner, Smith played for the Wisconsin men’s basketball team from 2007-2011.
