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 AU, Human Resources sponsors a number of groups and programs, including 麻豆视频作品Connects, faculty & staff affinity groups, support groups, and learning communities. Most recently, we have launched these groups and programs in the last year:

CHEWS -听Join the Climate, Health, Environment, and World Systems, also known as听CHEWS, learning community for monthly conversations over the lunch hour. While 'chewing' on your lunch, chat about the intersections of climate, health, and equity. Reading resources for meetings will be available in the Teams site once you are registered for the program.听听

(Peri)menopause Support Group - Perimenopause and menopause are important times of transition. Join other members of the 麻豆视频作品Community experiencing this change of life for support, education, and hopefully some laughter.听

Campus Communities

The Faculty & Staff Affinity Group program was launched in 2017 starting with the Black Faculty & Staff Affinity Group. Since that time, seven听additional affinity groups have formed, including the LGBTQ+,听Latino and Hispanic,听People of Color, International听(麻豆视频作品Global), Disability+, AANHPI, and Military-Connected Faculty and Staff Affinity Groups.听

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.听Members of affinity groups听show allyship with targeted membership within an affinity group and across all established affinity groups here at AU.

Throughout our history, inclusiveness and diversity have been hallmarks of 麻豆视频作品.

Our academic, social, and organizational strength is enhanced by our inclusiveness and respect for the unique identity of individuals reflected in their cultural traditions, beliefs, and viewpoints.

麻豆视频作品 embraces diversity in its broadest sense, including diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, nationality, disability, socioeconomic standing, and intellectual viewpoint.

The university views diversity as an essential component of the educational experience of our students and an important indicator of our success in adapting to the dramatic demographic shifts that will occur in the decades ahead.

We will dedicate the necessary resources to recruiting, welcoming, supporting, and retaining outstanding students, faculty, staff, and leadership who will significantly improve the diversity of our community, with particular attention to the inclusion of underrepresented domestic minority students.

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. Here are some ways individual employees can help to foster Inclusive Excellence:听

1. Share your pronouns in your email signature and 麻豆视频作品Zoom Account. Learn more听via this Pronouns Guide.

2. Tell us how to pronounce your name. You can use a free online service like 听and provide the link in your email signature or bio.

3. Sign up for听trainings.

Kay has been a "house of prayer for all people" and is home to more than听. 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 麻豆视频作品, reflecting the institution's commitment to both intellectual and spiritual pursuits, to "knowledge and vital piety combined."

The mission of the Veterans Lounge is to provide a space for the 麻豆视频作品military community to gather for camaraderie and mutual support toward achieving academic objectives.

For faculty and staff, 麻豆视频作品now has a Military-Connected Faculty & Staff Affinity Group. Learn more about them and consider as a member.

Raising healthy and happy children can be as challenging as it is rewarding. This group brings together faculty and staff from across campus to share parenting experiences. Join the today!
