Collegiate recreation professionals play a large role in the offering of programs, facilities, and services to a college campus. Some research findings suggest that recreation offerings are not reaching all communities on the college campus - specifically, participants with marginalized social identities. The purpose of this research study was to understand the role of collegiate recreation professionals in creating equitable and inclusive recreation opportunities. Findings and implications from this case study will be discussed.

 Learning Objective(s):

1. Differentiate the six levels at which diversity and inclusion engagement and efforts can occur within  collegiate recreation. 

2. Apply at least two research recommendations to your collegiate recreation organization.

Erin Patchett, PhD

NIRSA Board President Designee; Director of Administration and Assessment

Colorado State University

My name is Erin Patchett (she|her), and you can call me EP. I work in Campus Recreation at Colorado State University as the Director of Administration and Assessment. I am currently serving on the NIRSA Board of Directors (President Designee) and have had the opportunity to serve NIRSA in several other ways including the Annual Conference Program Committee Chair, EDI Commission, and Research and Assessment Committee. Some of my most cherished friendships are with folks I've met during my journey in this field.

I am a two-time graduate of the University of Iowa (B.S. Exercise Science, M.A. Leisure Studies), and I completed my doctorate at the University of Northern Colorado (Sport Administration) in 2019.

My favorite things to dialogue about are assessment, research, gender, tattoos, emotional intelligence, books, coffee, and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
