Student-Athletes of Color Combining Opportunity and Responsibility for Excellence

Mission

Student-Athletes of Color Combining Opportunity and Responsibility for Excellence (S.C.O.R.E.) was created to provide resources and support for minority student-athletes at the University of Louisville. The enrichment program and Recognized Student Organization on campus, is available to all student-athletes that participate in our 21 intercollegiate athletic teams. The organization is designed to address several key obstacles that student-athletes of color face at predominantly white institutions and to emphasize the importance of diversity and inclusion initiatives.

S.C.O.R.E. creates a balance between academics and athletics, promotes cultural diversity by sponsoring minority services, provides peer and professional networks, and aims to improve the overall experience of minority student-athletes. Student-athletes are able to enhance their leadership skills through monthly programming and/or serve on the advisory board. Opportunities are also created to bridge the gap between athletics and other campus departments.

University of Louisville Athletics - "We Win Together" Core Belief
We celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion as essential cornerstones of a successful team. Through trust and respect, we value each other’s ideas, backgrounds, and contributions that drive organizational success for our athletics department and university.

University of Louisville Diversity Vision Statement
The University of Louisville strives to foster and sustain an environment of inclusiveness that empowers us all to achieve our highest potential without fear of prejudice or bias.

We commit ourselves to building an exemplary educational community that offers a nurturing and challenging intellectual climate, a respect for the spectrum of human diversity, and a genuine understanding of the many differences-including race, ethnicity, gender, age, socio-economic status, national origin, sexual orientation, disability and religion-that enrich a vibrant metropolitan research university.

We expect every member of our academic family to embrace the underlying values of this vision and to demonstrate a strong commitment to attracting, retaining and supporting students, faculty and staff who reflect the diversity of our larger society.
