Launch of Employee Resource Groups

The Office of Equity and Inclusion is pleased to announce the launch of the first Lewis & Clark employee resource groups!

November 06, 2023

Our two new Employee Resource Groups are:

BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color) resource group: This group will have a focus on community building, on and off campus via social activities and educational opportunities. All are welcome, but voices and experiences of BIPOC identities will be centered.

  • First Event: BIPOC Employee Resource Group Mixer
  • Thursday, November 16, 2023; 3:30-5:00
  • Fowler 350
  • Drop in for a snack and say hi!

LQTBQIA2S+ resource group: This group plans to focus on community building, resource sharing and educational opportunities. They will be planning a virtual Meet and Greet happening later this month. Be on the lookout for the event! All are welcome to join, but voices and experiences of LQTBQIA2S+ identities will be centered.

If you are a staff or faculty member interested in joining these groups outside of these events or have questions about starting a new ERG, please contact the Office of Equity and Inclusion.

Equity and Inclusion is located in room 116-117 of McAfee on the undergraduate Campus.
