Athletics: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workshop a Success
On November 18th, over 150 MCC Student-Athletes attended multiple Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion workshops hosted by Dr. Calvin Gantt. Two sessions were
conducted as a training series as the Athletic Department works towards
strategic goals to serve student-athletes holistically. Dr. Gantt led several
small group activities that discussed and applied learning experiences with
microaggression and inexplicit bias. Open dialogue between students from
different teams enabled a rich session for all involved.
Athletics Department will continue serving Student-Athletes holistically and
will plan multiple events and workshops in the Spring Semester. There will be a
specific focus on Title IX as we celebrate over 50 years. One of them will have
a keynote speaker with a panel discussion on the student-athlete experience.
The Athletics Department would like to thank the following people for making
the DEI Workshop a considerable success: Dr. Calvin Gantt, Pam Rende, Tom
Winslow, Kaci Chiappone, and the Coaches and Student-Athletes made this event a
huge success.
