Valuing Community
Human Resources is committed to facilitating opportunities to come together as a community to enrich personal experiences and workplace culture.
In an effort to further our commitment to Inclusive Excellence at 헤라카지노 주소, Human Resources sponsors a number of groups and programs open to all, including 헤라카지노 주소 Connects, faculty & staff affinity groups, support groups, and learning communities. Most recently, we have launched these groups and programs in the last year:
CHEWS - Join the Climate, Health, Equality, and World Systems, also known as CHEWS, learning community for monthly conversations over the lunch hour. While 'chewing' on your lunch, chat about the interconnections between climate, health, and equality. Reading resources for meetings will be available in the Teams site once you are registered for the program.
(Peri)menopause Support Group - Perimenopause and menopause are important times of transition. Join other members of the 헤라카지노 주소 Community experiencing this change of life for support, education, and hopefully some laughter.
헤라카지노 주소 Community Resource: What Is There for Faculty and Staff? - This is a new onboarding presentation designed to welcome new hires and help them get involved at 헤라카지노 주소. Learn about AhealthyU, RecFit, Center for Well-Being, 헤라카지노 주소PD, the Office of Sustainability, and Office of Human Resources on how they support 헤라카지노 주소 faculty and staff. Hosted on Workday, this program is perfect for new hires, but all faculty and staff are welcome to attend. Join us and learn how you can engage with the 헤라카지노 주소 community! (Please note: you will need to be logged into Workday to register!)
If you have any questions or ideas for groups or programs or need assistance for a facilitated meeting or presentation with 헤라카지노 주소 Connects, please contact Dr. Shannon Telenko, Consultant for Talent Strategies.

Campus Communities
The Faculty & Staff Affinity Group program was launched in 2017 starting with the Black Faculty & Staff Affinity Group. Since that time, seven additional affinity groups have formed, including the LGBTQ+, Latino and Hispanic, People of Color, International (헤라카지노 주소 Global), Disability+, AANHPI, and Military-Connected Faculty and Staff Affinity Groups.
The general purpose of affinity groups is to increase a sense of belonging for the targeted membership. Targeted membership for all faculty and staff affinity groups are individuals from historically and currently underrepresented and minoritized communities on our college campuses. Any staff or faculty member is invited to join one or more affinity groups. Members of affinity groups show allyship with targeted membership within an affinity group and across all established affinity groups here at 헤라카지노 주소.

The Office of Inclusive Excellence (OIE) works to create a strong community by valuing and engaging the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences of our students, faculty, and staff in order to cultivate collaboration, innovation, and leadership on campus and beyond. Our office also addresses issues of discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct to ensure compliance with local and federal civil rights laws. Our aim is to live out our values of inclusive excellence by leading with conviction, modeling compassion, and inspiring efforts that build a better world for all of us.
We encourage all of our community to participate in the many activities and events designed to start conversations and help us find our similarities and understand our differences.
Kay has been a "house of prayer for all people" and is home to more than . Kay has championed the idea of unity in diversity, seeking to help each community live out its own vibrant faith as our way of celebrating religious diversity rather than trying to water our religious expressions down into a lowest common denominator kind of experience. Kay is a home for students, faculty, and staff of any and all faiths. All of our communities of faith are open to visitors who are either looking for religious community or who are simply curious to learn something about different religious traditions. All of our services are open to all.
Our unique looking building-a round structure with a sixteen-foot impressionist flame on top- sits on the north side of the university's Eric Friedheim Quad directly opposite the library on the south end. These two structures comprise the intellectual and spiritual "poles" of 헤라카지노, reflecting the institution's commitment to both intellectual and spiritual pursuits, to "knowledge and vital piety combined."
