IDEA - “I have personally witnessed discrimination at this club.” 22 out of 134 survey respondents courageously answered this affirmatively. Discrimination takes many forms and is often done without conscious thought. It can only get better as everyone becomes more aware of their own actions and the consequences. Change starts with each of us. How will you help? Questions or comments? Please email Cal Weary (calweary@gmail.com) or Jen May (jgm14@psu.edu)
