Loyola Marymount University Athletics

MISSION

Aligned with Loyola Marymount University's Core Values, the LMU Athletic Department is committed to Practicing and Reinforcing Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity, (P.R.I.D.E.). LMU student-athletes, coaches, and staff have a responsibility to be campus and community leaders in creating a diverse community and fostering an inclusive culture focused on empowering, engaging, educating, growing, and leading together to better our campus and community.

In support of this mission, LMU’s P.R.I.D.E. Committee, composed of coaches, staff, and administrators, and in consultation with student-athletes, was formed out of the passion and commitment to help foster authentic and lasting change.

We will work towards creating a more equitable and safe space for all to prosper. We are committed to providing opportunities and resources from which we can all learn and engage to continue the fight towards equality.
