Employee Resource Groups
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are supportive communities for staff and faculty sharing common interests, purposes, or activities. Through participation, UNCSA staff and faculty help foster a positive work environment by actively contributing to UNCSA’s EDIB values and goals.
Current Employee Resource Groups include:
- Jewish Faculty and Staff
- Asian American and Pacific Islander Faculty and Staff
- Women Faculty and Staff
- Native American and Indigenous Faculty and Staff
- Black Faculty and Staff
- Hispanic and Latinx Faculty and Staff
- International Faculty and Staff
- LGBTQIA+ Faculty and Staff
How to form a new Employee Resource Group
- Proposals for ERGs should be submitted to belonging@uncsa.edu
- Each ERG needs co-liaisons who will commit to the role for one year.
- A plan of action to meet two or three times a semester.
Employee Resource Groups Guiding Principles

- ERG meetings should be communicated via the UNCSA Campus E-Newsletter.
- ERGs are open to all employees.
- Employee participation in ERGs is entirely voluntary.
- ERGs may not charge membership dues or conduct fundraising.
