麻豆视频 has developed programs for faculty and staff to create community and a sense of belonging on campus. 

Employee Resource Groups help support, sustain, and create community at Lawrence. All of these groups are open to all faculty and staff. 

Please email Helen Boyd Kramer, Employee Resource Groups Coordinator, if you are interested in participating in any of these groups.

Employee Resource Groups are intended to create community, provide resources, increase social networks, and encourage a sense of belonging at a workplace. They鈥檙e a good place to , someone to have a coffee or a beer with, or a colleague to collaborate with. 

All of these groups operate differently: some meet regularly and do things together; others are more loosely connected community who gather only for certain events; still others rarely meet but maintain relevant resources. It really depends on the group, and your participation is entirely voluntary and based on your own needs and availability.
