A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support underrepresented groups within the staff:
The University strives to create a supportive community for all of its employees. In addition to the efforts of the Diversity Council, one of the ways it does so is through the recognition and funding of six employee resource groups. These groups provide faculty and staff members with opportunities to meet people across campus in academic, cultural and social settings, and to connect in the spirit of community in comfortable situations. The organizations also create networks for collaboration and support. There are also numerous HR training programs, including “Excelling at Princeton,” which provide resources for under-represented staff members.
