Office of Community Belonging

Join the Office of Community Belonging (OCB) for one of our upcoming virtual information sessions:

  • Monday, October 5, at 12:00 p.m.
  • Thursday, November 5, at 7:00 p.m.
  • Wednesday, December 9, at 7:00 p.m.

These sessions offer an opportunity to learn how our values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging come to life through the relationships we build, the learning environments we create, the conversations we have, and the care we show one another each day.

Community is something we build together. Belonging is what every member of that community should experience.

This philosophy reflects the continued growth of our work, with belonging understood as a shared, community-wide commitment rather than the responsibility of a single department. The Office of Community Belonging serves as a partner, resource, and catalyst, helping every member of our community bring these shared values and responsibilities to life.
