Employee Resource Groups

Want to engage with colleages across the university that have similar interests or backgrounds as you? Join an Employee Resource group! We have several groups that meet regularly (weekly, monthly, or quarterly) to create connection, share support, and grow personally together.  

Current Employee Resource Groups:

• Working Moms: For those who are mothering while working at 性视界传媒 (Contact: Megan Fisher).
• Latino/a Affinity: Building community with other Latino/a employees (Contact: Jesse Cetz).
• International Connections: Bringing together staff/faculty who are from countries outside the U.S. or who have lived abroad for a significant period of time (Contact: Kerry Ford).
• Adoptive Families: Providing opportunities for those interested in adoption, waiting families, or families who have grown their family through adoption (Contact: Heather Rollins).
• Vertical Virtuosos: For those interested in rock climbing together in the Hadlock Student Center (Contact: David Martinez).
