Testimonials
“We are ecstatic to partner with ROI to provide additional education opportunities to our student-athletes, coaches and staff. Nevin (Caple) is the subject-matter expert that will help Texas A&M Athletics to continue to pioneer diversity and inclusion throughout this groundbreaking partnership. I am looking forward to doing the work alongside our amazing staff and I would like to acknowledge the efforts from The Aggie Commitment to bring this partnership to life.”

“The ROI program was truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional career. In taking me out of my comfort zone, it required me to do an important self-reflection of where I stood relative to being open-minded to others who are different from me and/or my upbringing/social circle. Hopefully, most importantly, it has educated me in a way to grow as a person and as a leader to become better prepared to help generate a more inclusive platform within our intercollegiate athletics program. It was also a blessing to provide me the opportunity to interact with so many wonderful folks from across the country and our wonderful profession.”

“I have been through many DEI trainings both in person and virtually, but none have felt as disruptive as ROI. My favorite part of the trainings are the videos where I felt as though Nevin was talking directly to me. I also loved how athletic specific the trainings were and the case studies that forced me to think about my actions and my part in moving the needle. So much of what I learned from ROI and shared with my NACDA cohort I will carry with me to better inform my decision making and to impact change on my campus.”

“The most impactful part of the ROI program was that it guided self assessment while simultaneously building knowledge on how to become a more inclusive leader. Through a measured and compassionate approach, the interactive sessions provided confidence to engaged participants that embraced this critical work. ROI is enlightening personally and professionally.”

“I went into this program with low expectations – thinking it would be another training that you check the box and move on. The difference between this program and others that I have participated in would be the support you feel to grow and develop as a person and leader. We all have our past experiences, upbringings and experiences and there were no judgements or criticisms, just an acknowledgement of where we all came from and how we can move forward together. ROI has helped me be a more inclusive leader by meeting my staff and colleagues at where they are, rather than expecting them to adjust to me. As they say in the program, treat others how they want to be treated, not just how you want to be treated.”

“The opportunity to participate in Return on Inclusion challenged me to broaden my view of who we serve and work with in our athletic communities. The content was practical, simple to consume, and impactful.”
