We are excited to announce the Employee Resource Group and Affinity Group Discovery Fair, supported by the Office of Human Resources and the Office of Equity and Inclusion. This fair offers a fantastic opportunity to learn about ERGs and Affinity Groups, connect with colleagues, and explore new avenues for professional growth and mentorship with strong community support.
