For Prospective Employees
º£½ÇÉçÇø is a small, deeply relational campus community that enables faculty and staff to get to know students individually and holistically and to develop long-term mentoring relationships that play a transformative role in students’ lives. º£½ÇÉçÇø is also an environment where faculty and staff work closely and collaboratively—both in their shared support of student learning and development and to advance innovative and high-impact practices within and across their disciplines. º£½ÇÉçÇø is a community rooted in care and connection, a place where we actively seek to make each other feel welcome, and a campus where students, staff, and faculty often hear—and often say—that they stay “because of the people.”
Showing Up—With and For Each Other
At º£½ÇÉçÇø, there is a shared commitment to fostering accessible, affirming, and inclusive living, learning, and working environments for students, staff, and faculty. That commitment is one of the many motivators that promote cross-campus collaborations and result in a robust range of programs and initiatives. Below are some of the central ways we are working together to put our values into practice.
- Building a multimodal infrastructure to increase college access and student success (Charlotte Talent Initiative, Thrive Institute, Transition 2 University Program, and L.E.A.D. Program).
- Offering resources and services to meet the holistic needs of our student communities (Student Inclusive Excellence; Spiritual Life; International Student Services).
- Partnering to meet the access needs of our campus community (Student Accessibility Services; Human Resources; Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion).
- Supporting and honoring the diverse faith traditions and religious observances of our students, staff, and faculty (Spiritual Life; Student Inclusive Excellence; Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; Human Resources).
- Refining our institutional landscape to better affirm the members of our campus community (veterans lounge, lactation space, gender-inclusive housing).
- Providing individual and department-level consultation and support, offering ongoing opportunities for learning and development, and facilitating a community-of-practice approach to sharing inclusive practices and strategies for faculty and staff (Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFÉ); Human Resources).
