Diversity & Inclusion

Our Statement


Inspired, engaged and motivated students mean stronger communities and brighter futures. That’s why Varsity Brands elevates student experiences.
​​​​​​​
And we know doing that successfully means every person must feel safe, included, and seen.

We unambiguously reject discrimination in all its forms and support equality and inclusion.

Varsity Brands is guided in this journey by fostering and investing in a culture that respects and values inclusion. We will listen and we will learn. We will reject the status quo and assume nothing along the way.

And then, empowered with new insights and compassion, we will be purposeful and effective change agents, champions and leaders.
