The Division of Student Affairs supports several Employee Resource Groups (ERG’s) to help DSA team members create a sense of belonging and provide a platform where their collective voices can be captured. Please see below for more information about how you can join or establish an ERG!

What are Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)?

Employee Resource Groups are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a sense of community and belonging amongst DSA staff members.

  • Working parents
