NEW YORK – In keeping with the BIG EAST Conference’s commitment to BE the Change by leading, educating and inspiring others on racial and social justice issues, the Conference today announced plans to honor and recognize throughout the month of February the historical contributions of the Black community.
The Conference’s plans were developed in conjunction with its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group, which was formed in 2019 to promote diversity, gender and racial equity and inclusive practices within the BIG EAST community. The Conference’s DE&I strategic roadmap focuses on hiring, education and awareness and is designed to assist BIG EAST member schools as they build on DE&I efforts already underway on their campuses.
