NEW YORK -- The BIG EAST Conference has announced the launch of BE the Change, a conference-wide advocacy platform that will enable BIG EAST stakeholders to engage on a wide range of contemporary racial and social justice issues.
The platform is an outgrowth of the work of the conference’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group, which was formed in 2019 to promote diversity, gender equity and inclusive practices within the BIG EAST community and to create a strategic roadmap for BIG EAST member schools as they build on DE&I efforts already underway on their campuses.
