Wesleyan's DEI
Committee, comprised of coaches, administrators and student-athletes, plays an important role in the critical work of addressing social injustice.

- February: Difficult Conversations, Active Listening and Black History Month
- March: Supporting Survivors and Women's History Month
- April: Equity and Inclusion, Confronting the -ism's
- May: Share Your Voice, Asian American/Pacific Islander Month
