What Is a Employee Resource Group?

The University’s Employee Resource Groups are open to all University of Rochester employees – staff and faculty. They provide opportunities for employees to directly contribute to the University of Rochester’s efforts to build a culture of belonging where all University employees can thrive. Employee Resource Groups provide mentoring and professional development opportunities as well as strengthening connections between individuals, the greater Rochester community, and University management.

All Employee Resource Groups are open to every University of Rochester employee. While each Employee Resource Group (ERG) centers the experiences and perspectives of the community it represents, all colleagues – regardless of background or identity – are warmly welcomed and encouraged to participate. Your presence, support, and engagement enrich the conversation and help build a culture of respect, connection, and shared understanding. By demonstrating a willingness to learn and engage, you help strengthen our community and create a workplace where everyone can contribute and grow.
