Mission Statement: The Student-Athlete Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Committee (SADIE) at the University of Southern Maine is dedicated to creating a community that values and prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion. These are the committee’s key values and we are devoted to representing our entire student-athlete population. SADIE is committed to listening to student-athlete’s concerns surrounding social justice issues. We want to hear from you. Our aim for the SADIE platform is to give student-athletes a voice and an outlet for changes they want to see. This is our campus and we want to represent everyone. #BackThePack.
About Us: This web page has been created in order to educate USM Students about our new student group, the Student-Athlete Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Committee (SADIE). This group was created to focus on educating USM Students and members of the athletics department on diversity, equity, and inclusion to help our community become more aware of issues faced on a daily basis. We want to empower others to embrace and celebrate the differences among us and apply their knowledge of equity practices both on and off campus. We hope this awareness can spread rapidly throughout our community. SADIE is a safe space for anyone to express their views; our meetings are always open and we invite all to join us!
