Events
Athletics & Recreation Inclusion Statement Focus Groups
From program design and timing to accessibility and who feels reflected in a space, these details shape how comfortable people feel showing up and participating. Athletics and Recreation is developing an Inclusion Statement to guide how inclusive programs and spaces continue to evolve, and we’re looking for student input. Students are invited to join a focus group to review and help shape the statement. Sessions are approximately one hour, offered online or in person. No experience needed, just your perspective.
