America East's Spread Respect initiative raises awareness to ensure equality and safety for all student-athletes, coaches and fans without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.  Binghamton University Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) members continue to spread awareness and education to ensure equality, respect and safety for all athletes without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity through social media and tabling efforts. 
 
The Binghamton University Fall Spread Respect games included:
·        Sunday, September 20 - Women's Soccer vs University of Massachusetts Lowell at 1PM
·        Sunday, October 11 - Volleyball vs University at Albany at 1PM
·        Tuesday, November 3 - Men's Soccer vs University at Albany at 7PM
 
"If I could only take one thing away from sports, it's the importance of respecting others, no matter their origin, identity, or history." Said Beckham Chiew, golf student-athlete and member of the SAAC e-board.   "As much as one can be a competitor, at the end of the day we're all humans striving to make those around us better."
 
SAAC members tabled at these games to distribute candy and spread awareness of this initiative.  Check out SAAC on their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/binghamtonsaac
