When student-athletes arrive on campus, they arrive to a support system consisting of their teammates and coaches. When international students arrive, they have to work to create their own support system.
Wichita State’s Athletic Director Kevin Saal is looking to create a new “team” within the athletics department: the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team.
He said the mission of creating this “team” is simple.
“It is to impact human hearts and educate on the value and power of diversity not only in athletics but just in life,” Saal said.
