Athletic Department Forms Diversity & Inclusion Council

WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State Athletics has formed a Diversity and Inclusion Council. The purpose of the WSU-ICAA Diversity and Inclusion Council is to advance Shocker Athletics' commitment toward diversity, inclusion, and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches, and administrators.

The WSU-ICAA Diversity and Inclusion Council was formed organically in early June after watching the shocking death of George Floyd. Although Mr. Floyd was not the first victim of egregious behavior, his death served as the ultimate motivation for change.

The Council will be advocating and empowering members of Shocker Athletics by focusing on professional growth through education and the celebration of diversity and inclusion.
