Diversity, Inclusion, & Civic Engagement

The Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes strives to celebrate, highlight, affirm and embrace the diversity of our student-athletes. We provide an environment that is respectful of cultural, racial and ethnic differences by acknowledging their individuality and uniqueness.

This is a safe space for all students to come and have open dialogue about their experiences regardless of sexual orientation, religious affiliation, race, ethnicity or interest.

We encourage cross cultural leadership to enrich and enhance their experiences at LSU and beyond. Our programming hopes to instill the very values that the Cox Communications Academic Center team infuses into their daily practices with the ultimate goal to assist student-athletes in developing cultural competencies in order flourish in all aspects of life.

In addition, our programs emphasize the importance of giving back and citizenship by engaging in the University and surrounding community. The opportunity to delve into volunteerism activities will not only strengthen altruistic qualities but also encompass the values of unity, teamwork, community, and social responsibility.
