About
Mission
The shared mission of the Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) is to raise awareness of career development, networking, mentorship opportunities, and resources available for their respective community members. The ERGs also act as collaborative units and advocate for concerns and issues at the University and Community level for staff, faculty, residents, and students.
Guiding Principles
- Develop community and cultivate a sense of belonging through sponsoring and supporting events.
- Promote awareness, general welfare, and interest of each ERG’s respective community.
- Support upward mobility through professional development and mentorship programs.
The Office for Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (HEDI) provides guidance and oversight to ensure ERG strategies align and are integrated with the university’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals. HEDI also supports the ERGs through ongoing funding and providing administrative support.
