Staff
As the second largest constiuency after students, and given the vital role they play in all aspects of Univeristy operations, the staff at the University of Denver is a critical community on campus. To better serve this population, we are re-developing a range of program and services to engage and support them, including opportunities for individual and departmental learning around Inclusive Excellence. In the meanwhile, below are some campus organizations serving staff:
Staff of Color Association (SOCA)
SOCA mission is to create a transformative and supportive community to promote personal and professional growth through shared experiences, strategies and resources for Staff of Color. SOCA meets the last Tuesday of each month at rotating locations on campus. SOCA also hosts periodic networking and professional development events. All events are free and open to DU employees.
