Delaware Athletics Wraps Up NCAA Inclusion Week
10/27/2021 10:09:00 AM | Delaware Athletics
The three-day social media campaign had a theme for each day.
Day 1 (Tuesday, Oct. 19): "My Voice, My Platform": exploring student-athletes' identities, perspectives, and experiences.
Day 2 (Wednesday, Oct. 20): "Championing Change": outlining personal and institutional action steps for inclusive excellence.
Day 3 (Thursday, Oct. 21): "Belonging Is…": defining belonging to support fostering communities of belonging within athletics.
The Blue Hens closed out their diversity and inclusion week with a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Chat and Chew for athletics and recreation staff members.
Quotes
"Athletics is often referred to as the door step to the University. With that being said, our Blue Hens family of administrators, coaches, and staff are committed to the work, responsibility, education and awareness to promote and foster a diverse culture of integrity and inclusive excellence." – Head Women's Basketball Coach, Natasha Adair
"I was awarded the opportunity to speak my piece to the entire student-athlete body, and in doing so I started to be seen as more of a leader on campus. And it doesn't stop with just the talk. Through this action, we were able to form the Student-Athlete Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee at Delaware which I was fortunate enough to be selected co-chair. We will ensure that everyone who attends UD feels represented and safe to be themselves."- Football Student-Athlete, Dejoun Lee
