From fitness classes to networking: How UA’s athletics is working to improve diversity and inclusion – Arizona Daily Star

Lunch and Learn is the IECs most highly attended event, with 30 to 40 staffers typically in attendance.

Pick your group and live with it for a little bit

By the end of the 2018-19 school year, it became clear that a full-time leadership position would be necessary to advance the IECs goals of ensuring that employees felt like part of the athletic department.

Harris fit the bill: He spent his first few months on the job listening to various department leaders and partners. He found that many employees wanted to join the IEC. At the start of this school year, they introduced five separate subcommittees within the IEC, each focusing on a specific area. These areas include employee engagement, identities, student-athletes, employee recruitment and retention, and women leaders in sports.

Swindlehurst and Harris called the process discussion-based learning, saying that there was no specific plan for what the subcommittees would accomplish aside from advancing the IECs goals of engagement and inclusion.

We told them, Just pick your group and live with it for a little bit, and identify the challenges we need to address coming into the fall of 2020, Harris said.

The employee-engagement subcommittee handles what Harris and Swindlehurst called the fun stuff, including a biweekly fitness class led by the Wildcats strength and conditioning coaches. This subcommittee also plans the departments holiday celebrations, potlucks and birthday acknowledgments.
