MSC | Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Michigan Snowboard Club Code of Conduct

Be respectful. This not only means respecting the MSC officers trying to create a safe environment for all of our members but also respecting any and all members / prospective members on trips and at events!
Be inclusive and welcoming. As long as someone has an interest in winter sports or even just enjoys being around MSC members, they are welcome, so show them that!
Look out for one another. A key aspect of snowboarding culture! You can’t have stoke without safety and community. If someone looks distressed or unsafe on the slopes or at a social event, take action or let an officer know.
Know your limits! We are unfortunately not Michigan Rager Club. The officers are not your babysitters, so please, both on and off the slopes, make smart decisions regarding behavior and intoxication.
Be open. The best part about MSC culture is that we’re open to all sorts of perspectives! Just because someone has a different opinion, does not give anyone the right to become rude or hostile.
