Inclusive Excellence Statement
Acknowledging and appreciating inclusive excellence (IE) is a core value that reveals countless ways to understand our society, enhance one another’s lives, overcome challenges, and develop solutions. In the School of Kinesiology, we will foster IE by embracing and honoring each person’s individual identities and experiences.
We will create a respectful learning community where we intentionally minimize systemic bias and discrimination towards marginalized and underrepresented groups. To this end, we will create inclusive and safe intellectual places where collaboration can thrive. Professionals will serve as mentors and will contribute to IE in all SOK academic areas.
Conscious inclusiveness strengthens learning experiences and drives the efforts of our students, faculty, and staff. We will persistently strive to promote inclusive excellence in everything that we do today and beyond.
