Inclusivity Statement
We believe a healthy, active, and engaged lifestyle is a right afforded to everyone.
Adopted 3/2019
In 2017 & 2018, Campus Recreation worked with a group of key players/stakeholders representing many on-campus organizations to discuss how to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. Through various focus groups, we learned about the obstacles and solutions to achieve a truly welcoming environment for students, faculty/staff and visitors.
Strategies discussed by the Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Group and implemented to date.
