Our Journey to a Community of Excellence
Creating a community where care, support and respect are at our core.
Community
The individuals - each holding their own perspectives and talents- that come together to enable the shared values, beliefs and practices that define our organization.
Engagement
The opportunities offered that encourage connection and a sense of belonging to the various teams, units and greater organization.
People
The stakeholders invested in the success of the institution that give their time, talents and treasures to ensure students and alumni are poised for greatness.
鈥淥ur People and Engagement efforts reflect the heart of our organization. As care is at our core, we encourage our community and stakeholders to honor the individuals that inspire our collective, while ensuring they feel seen and valued for their contributions. We inspire Team UMA to be global contributors, striving to display care and respect for all in everything they do.鈥�
Engagement Resource Groups
Engagement Resource Groups (ERG)s are UMAE team member led groups that establish a community united around shared experiences and opportunities to learn. ERGs bolster UMAE鈥檚 mission and enrich the team member experience by providing support, building awareness, and fostering a sense of belonging.
These groups are open to and welcome all team members and allow us to connect with others or simply find a space to support each other while gaining a better understanding of different experiences. Our Engagement Resource Groups provide the opportunity to interact with coworkers to have discussions about meaningful topics.
Events
For Team UMA, we host monthly guest speakers to bring awareness to the varying identities and perspectives in our global community. Team members are invited to learn and discuss the topics with their colleagues and use their heightened perspectives to encourage inclusion in their everyday lives.
Community Involvement
At UMA, we believe Care Pays Back and that鈥檚 what we do through our community efforts. Through youth mentorship, volunteering to serve marginalized community members and partnership with local resources, we do our part to help positively influence the lives of others.
