Asian American Pacific Islander Employee Resource Group
Mission
Our goal is to be the "go-to" resource for faculty and staff who wish to engage in issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion of the AAPI communities. AAPI is not only open to all faculty and staff who identify as Asian, Asian American or Pacific Islander, but allies are also welcome! Our Employee Resource Group will work to provide equal access and opportunities to AAPI employees by aiming to strengthen dialogue and address issues facing these communities.
The AAPI Employee Resource Group is dedicated to making the U of A the best place for Asians, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to fulfill their career aspirations while maintaining their cultural identity. We provide support for university's AAPI employees to accomplish the mission of teaching, research and service through strengthening diversity, fostering community and improving retention of students, faculty and staff. AAPI aims to develop inclusive leaders to educate, engage and support the university and its strategic initiatives. We plan to provide social networking, professional development and cultural events in the upcoming year.
