Power of Us

Explore the Philosophy Driving Our Work.

Inspired by the teachings of Howard Thurman, a philosopher and educator, we embrace his philosophy of the Search for Common Ground. Through self-exploration and shared experiences, we believe that we can find common ground, transcend barriers, and inspire positive change in our community and beyond.

Foundations of the Power of Us Initiative

Shared Experiences:

Bringing people together to encourage connection and community

Programming:

Equipping people with
knowledge and skills

Storytelling:

Amplifying the voices
within our community

Marketing:

Promoting the values of our department and university

“As we navigate a world where division often overshadows unity, we also recognize the incredible opportunity we have to bring people together. This is the essence of the Power of Us initiative. It’s our commitment to embedding our values into every facet of our organization. It’s our way of celebrating our student-athletes, coaches, staff, campus, and community while amplifying the voices and experiences of every individual within it.”
