Diversity and Inclusion

 

Athletics can thrive only if the entire family strives to reflect the changing faces of the student body, region, state, and nation.  By welcoming individuals from every background and creating opportunities for our student-athletes to compete at a high level, we will build a diverse group of strong student-athletes to inspire the next generation.
 
The goal of Diversity and Inclusion to increase performance, increase support, and to ensure long-term support for our student-athletes by harnessing the synergy of many diverse talents into a high-performing team.

LGBTQ – One Team

In 2016, the Division III Management Council endorsed the creation of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) Working Group.  The working group’s charge is to examine the current LGBTQ landscape in Division III.  Examination and research may lead to potential programming, resources, and recognition of the LGBTQ community and its allies as well as increasing the engagement and collaboration at the institutional, conference and national levels.

Sportsmanship – Respect.  It’s the name of the game.

 
All Bomber student-athletes are expected to display the utmost professionalism and sportsmanship during practice and intercollegiate competition.  The athletics department staff at IC takes hosting all contests and conference and NCAA Postseason Championships with great pride.  It is part of our mission to ensure that all student-athletes have a positive experience while on our campus.
