PMC Awarded 2004-05 NCAA Division III Initiative Grant
Pine Manor College has been awarded a $10,000 NCAA Division III
Initiative Grant to help enhance PMC student-athletes’ awareness
of, understanding of, and respect for cultural and ethnic diversity
on individual teams, in our athletic program, and throughout our
college community. The following five new components will be introduced
to our athletic planning:
- a one-day diversity training for our coaches by an outside facilitator
- a service learning project for all student-athletes and coaches
centering on diversity (topic to be determined by student-athletes
and coaches)
- a January 2005 overnight retreat for all student-athletes and
coaches with diversity exercises centering on fall team experiences
and the service learning project; the coaches will implement what
they learned from working with the outside facilitator in the
fall
- an annual award to be given to someone who has made a significant
contribution to promoting diversity in athletics (with day-long
roundtable discussions, lecture, and subsequent discussion)
- diversity assessment questionnaires (and subsequent team discussion)
to be conducted at the beginning and end of each team’s season.
