Fostering a sense of belonging

Resource Groups are a voluntary network designed to connect University employees with the goal of fostering community and a sense of belonging. Resource Groups help our organization create welcoming spaces where individuals can build relationships to span bridges professionally and personally, as well as to celebrate accomplishments and cultivate continuous progress towards enhancing the workplace experience. 

Resource Groups are open and welcoming to all University and UChicago Medicine employees.
