Inclusive initiative is a commitment to recognizing differences and championing our collective strength
MADISON, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin Athletic Department is proud to continue the Power of Us, a department wide initiative to celebrate the power of diversity and inclusion, create shared experiences, and share the stories of our student-athletes, coaches, staff, campus and broader community.
What is the Power of Us?
The Power of Us is more than just a slogan; it reinforces our commitment to recognizing individual differences while championing our collective strength. Through the initiative's four core pillars (Shared Experiences, Programming, Storytelling and Marketing) our goal is to embed our values into the fabric of everything we do and provide opportunities to grow our knowledge and skills.
Four Pillars of the Power of Us
1. Shared Experiences: Bringing people together to encourage connection and community
2. Programming: Equipping people with knowledge and skills
3. Storytelling: Amplifying the voices within our community
4. Marketing: Promoting the values of our department and university
Upcoming Power of Us Events and Initiatives
Wisconsin Athletics will host a series of games throughout the 2024-25 season, which highlight the Power of Us by focusing on community & culture, empowerment and wellness. These games will celebrate diverse cultures and communities represented by our student-athletes, coaches, staff and the broader campus, highlighting their contributions and the positive impact they make.
The Power of Us initiative underscores the belief that when we come together to celebrate our differences, we can build a stronger, more unified community. We believe that through self-exploration and shared experiences, we can find common ground, transcend barriers, and inspire positive change in our community and beyond.
