As a student athlete, it is important to model the Golden Rule. Following this simple rule means there is never any question with regard to inclusion; everyone contributes by bringing their own unique perspective.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;To me, inclusion is not only about race or gender, it means being able to share stories, ideas, and opinions, allowing for the accomplishment of extraordinary things together.&quot; &#8211; Taylor Jackson <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NCAAInclusion?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NCAAInclusion<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jiWTYgBhM0\">pic.twitter.com\/jiWTYgBhM0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Transylvania University (@Transy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Transy\/status\/1047847814401875969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 4, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Diversity and inclusion mean everything to me as a student athlete on a team sport.
