"We must strive to understand one another at a level deeper than our sport. Understanding not only who someone is but what in there life shaped them to be that way is the best way to break down barriers" -CJ Hawkins (@SeepinCJ) of @MSUEaglesCheer
"As a team, we should encourage one another and listen to other ideas. Whether or not we agree with them, we should always remind ourselves that everyone belongs on the team and was recruited for a reason." -Ryan Hinson of @MSUEaglesRifle
"Diversity means representation from all walks of life, regardless of demographics. It is the acceptance of and respect for people's differing perceptions. Being mindful of diversity provides a foundation for reducing biases & stereotypes" - @_tiaw of @MSUEaglesSoccer
Today kicks off Diversity & Inclusion Week!
We asked our student athletes, "What does diversity and inclusion mean to you?"
Our following tweets will be their responses #NCAAInclusion#OVCSAAC
This is a wonderful initiative. Follow @MSU_SAAC this week to find out all the great Diversity and Inclusion projects they and our student-athletes are a part of. #NCAAInclusion#EaglesAlwaysSoar
"The best way I can help student athletes who are different from me is first and foremost, listen. I can take the time to learn more about them and discover how much our differences can be the same."
