Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Social Justice, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Strategic Plan
Promoting Social Justice; Advocating Change
Our purpose is to serve our Student-Athletes by educating and providing a platform to serve each other and our surrounding communities. We strive to be the catalyst in creating a more welcoming and inclusive environment in our locker rooms and fields of play, on our campuses, and in our surrounding communities. We intend to provide opportunities for our student-athlete's voices not only to be heard but to be the driving force behind meaningful change. We will recognize and respect individual differences while facilitating important dialogue.
