亲和团体计划

皇冠投注网教职员工亲和团体的使命, 与多样性司合作, 公平与包容, is to cultivate a connection 和 sense of belonging for historically underrepresented faculty 和 staff members. 通过这种归属感, affinity groups can help support 和 retain faculty 和 staff from marginalized 和 underrepresented backgrounds 和 identities. Affinity groups will support the program’s mission by facilitating activities which enhance 和 convene the unique identity shared by its members for the benefit of their members 和 the broader campus community. Applications for new affinity groups are open at the beginning of the spring semester. A list of current affinity groups plus their contact information is listed below. General questions regarding the affinity group program can be sent to 丹尼吊桶.

领导中的女性
估计已经结束了 58% of the workforce is female; however, only 35% of senior leadership positions are held by women. This gap indicates there is work to be done to ensure women are provided with equal opportunities to hold senior leadership positions. It’s also equally important to care for 和 develop women who are in leadership positions to ensure they thrive in leadership positions 和 to mentor/coach/develop other future women leaders. This group is open to any individual currently employed at 皇冠投注 in a leadership position who is passionate about the leadership challenges, 能力, 和 approaches applicable to women seeking leadership positions 和 helping women in leadership positions thrive in their roles. We will discuss the unique challenges women face as leaders as well as explore the bumpy roads associated with being a leader in today’s environment.
