Faculty and staff Diversity Affinity Groups foster cross-departmental social interaction, professional networking, cultural competencies, recruiting, and mentoring. The Diversity Affinity Groups also serve as an outlet for faculty and staff to come together and fellowship with group members who share common cultural experiences while providing a space for members to engage in relevant discussions that are pertinent to the respective communities.
If you have questions or need further information, please contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity at (949) 824-5594 or oeod@uci.edu.
