As the university’s statement on diversity asserts, “a rich diversity of people and the many points of view they bring serve to enhance the quality of the educational experience.” Given this fact, the university strives to recruit, hire, and retain staff and faculty that help foster a welcoming and respectful workplace environment while recognizing personal differences.

This section of the Supervisors’ Toolbox focuses on ensuring opportunities and creating a welcoming and productive campus culture where everyone can contribute.
