Inclusion & Belonging

Information Services' Commitment to Inclusion, Belonging and Community

Inclusion, belonging, and community have greater importance than the sum of their parts. Together they capture the culture of any organization in managing an inclusive workforce that has opportunities for everyone to succeed. Cultivating inclusive work environments in which all can fully participate in the life of the institution and experience a sense of belonging.

By identifying and removing barriers and fostering individual potential, Information Services will cultivate a community where all members can learn and grow. Our community is committed to a safe environment that encourages intellectual, academic, and social interaction and engagement across multiple intersections of identities. 

We will build an inclusive community by building leadership capabilities and organizational capacities. This requires all employees and to do their part. Leaders must possess inclusion competencies to lead and manage an engaged workforce. We strive to treat colleagues with respect by listening to different viewpoints, opinions, thoughts, and ideas to foster an environment where people feel valued, supported, and empowered.
