Department of Athletics EDI
by Chris Barker, Deputy Director of Athletics and Athletics Diversity and Inclusion designee
|
I have to start with the old sports quote, “There is no I in Team.” This quote exemplifies who we are, and who we need to be in so many ways! We are grateful for the support and alignment we have received from Chancellor Ford, Dr. Sheronda Glass, Trina Patterson, and our Faculty Athletic Board chair, Dr. Kenny French. Additionally, our staff has worked really hard on the initiatives and progress outlined below, highlighted by the efforts of the Appreciation of Differences Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Council.
We have been able to do many things this semester, and I know that none of it would have been possible without this support! That being said, we have a lot of work to do when it comes to equity, diversity, and inclusion in the world we live in, but I know we will move the needle through teamwork, hard work and commitment to our culture here at Parkside.
Please excuse my overused baseball reference, but as they say, “if you build it, they will come.” In November, after a few months of planning, we officially launched the Appreciation of Differences Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Council. Our department is proud of this council, what it will provide for our students and staff, and how we will align with and impact our Parkside Community. The committee consists of the following members:
- Chris Barker, Deputy AD and Athletics Diversity and Inclusion designee (chair)
- Andrew Gavin, Director of Athletics
- Hayley Treadway, Senior Associate AD/Compliance and Student Success
- Sean Daniels, Assistant AD/Strategic Communications and Marketing / RSAAC Co-Advisor
- Ashley Beaton, Athletics Academic Advisor / RSAAC Co-Advisor
- Luke Reigel, Head Men’s Basketball Coach
- Brittany Nikolic, Head Women’s Soccer Coach
- Dr. Kenny French, Associate Professor / Faculty Athletic Board Chair
- Ramon Romero – Junior, Cross Country and Track & Field, Student EDI Council
- Brandon Wilson – Sophomore, Cross Country and Track & Field, RSAAC EDI Officer
- Jazmine Neal – Junior, Volleyball, GLIAC Diversity and Inclusion Task Force (Parkside representative)
