When I was hired, as part-time staff, at the beginning of this year I asked to begin working on DEI initiatives as a part of my role. I was beginning to reach out to campus resources to initiate programming when COVID hit. There wasn’t much discussion about DEI initiatives until the protests this summer. Those protests sparked a community conversation within the athletic department and the creation of our DEI committee (that I am also a member of). The work of the committee has really just begun and we need more resources to push out initiatives across the entire athletic department.
