BSU SADC Mission Statement

Bridgewater State Universities Student-Athlete Diversity Committee (SADC) seeks to establish and maintain a safe and inclusive environment for all, regardless of race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, spirituality, disability, socioeconomic background, or any other defining characteristics. Bridgewater State Universities SADC is a proud student group that does not exclude any individual nor tolerates discrimination of any kind whatsoever within the Bridgewater State Athletics community. SADC aims to educate and foster a greater sense of shared community across athletes, staff, and coaches, build an environment of inclusive excellence, in and out of the classroom. As a committee we are committed to prioritizing diversity, inclusion, and equity to provide a safe, equitable, and inclusive environment for our student athlete body.

• Create a safe space and support ALANA, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ student athletes
• To create an environment that embraces individual differences and values diverse identities
• Engage in anti-racism work and support the commitment to creating a culturally diverse and inclusive academic, athletic, and work environment
• To educate staff, athletes, and coaches to collectively learn and grow while creating dialogue around social justice allyship
