The overall purpose of the committee is to drive culture change through working groups that will focus on initiatives intended to enhance our culture, and together we can shape a more inclusive university and a collaborative place where people can thrive and grow. Our ability to enhance and affect change in our culture is significantly increased by having as many faculty and staff as possible actively participating in this journey. One of the keys to culture change is getting as many people involved as possible.
Furthermore, it is important to have as many faculty and staff participate as possible.
