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.
“Our Culture 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.”
Employee Resource Groups
Employee 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’s mission and enrich the team member experience by providing support, building awareness, and fostering inclusive communities.
These groups are open to and welcome all team members, regardless of identity, 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 Employee Resource Groups provide the opportunity to interact with coworkers to have discussions about meaningful topics.
