Opportunities in Athletics

Every February, our students and employees come together at our RiseUp event. This is a space where students and employees send a loud and clear message that sexual harassment and sexual assault will no longer be accepted as “business as usual.” At this event, our athletic teams join in solidarity to rally in a parade for this cause.

RiseUp Events

Every February, the Sierra College community RiseUp! to end sexual and gender violence as “business as usual” by holding campus events to promote awareness of these issues.

Check out our RiseUp 2021 video. Please note that this video includes sensitive content that may be triggering for some audiences. We encourage individuals to practice self-care. Viewer discretion is advised.
