Access, Belonging, & Community Outreach Committee


The Access, Belonging, & Community Outreach Committee is committed to creating an accessible campus and a sense of belonging and community for staff and all members of the U.

Goals 2023-24


Our committee goals for the year:

  • Foster University faculty and staff campus-wide affinity groups, in order to create a connected and thriving community on and off campus
  • Hold space for discussion and growth by hosting quarterly ABC book clubs
  • Provide a safe place for faculty and staff to bring their concerns involving discriminatory policies, practices, or for those who may be facing discrimination in the workplace
  • Create connection and build relationships with campus and off campus organizations who are able to provide support to marginalized individuals

Affinity Groups


The University has recently created guidelines and a process for employees to form and participate in Affinity Groups on campus. The goal is to create safe spaces for individuals and their allies or advocates to share their ideals, experiences, and information.
