Employee Affinity Groups

ENCOMPASS

The new name for the LGBTQIA+ Network is ENCOMPASS, which stands for: Employee Network for COMmunity, Pride, Acceptance, Solidarity, and Service. ENCOMPASS works to build a supportive and affirming atmosphere for LGBTQIA+ people on campus.  This group aims to create an open and safe environment for LGBTQIA+ employees to meet and join in the work to create an inclusive culture of acceptance, dignity, and respect for all LGBTQIA+ persons at Albion College.  Membership is open to all employees of the College who identify as LGBTQIA+, an ally, or are otherwise interested in and supportive of the community.

Mission/Vision –  ENCOMPASS will support and represent the interests of LGBTQIA+ employees at Albion College. We seek to uplift each other and create a broader culture of belonging via mutual and institutional support. Our goal is to support current and future LGBTQIA+ employees in being welcomed, resourced, and affirmed at Albion College.

Mosaic

Mosaic network is a group of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color geared toward networking, retention, and support of MOSAIC employees. This group will aim to create an open and safe environment for Mosaic Faculty/Staff to meet and join in the work to create an inclusive culture of acceptance, dignity, and respect for all Mosaic persons at Albion College. The Mosaic network will serve its members by helping to create an environment of equity and respect that attracts and values diverse individuals who are encouraged to contribute their perspectives to the overall success of an institution that stands in service to society. The goal of the Mosaic network is to continue to shape the conversation regarding diversity and inclusion affirming policies and procedures on Albion College Campus to create spaces for allies and partnerships.
