About ERGs
Employee Resource Groups are intended to create community, provide resources, increase social networks, and encouraging a sense of belonging at a workplace. They’re a good place to find a friend, someone to have a coffee or a beer with, to problem solve or bounce ideas off, and with whom you have some aspect of identity in common.
All of these groups operate differently and have different needs. Some meet regularly and do things together; others are more loosely connected community who gather only for certain events; still others rarely meet but maintain resources available to them when needed. It really depends on the group.
Our current groups:
- Employees of Color – Contact Ariela Rosa, ariela.e.rosa@lawrence.edu
- LU PRIDE Network (LGBTQ+ Employees) – contact Helen Boyd Kramer, helen.boyd@lawrence.edu or Kristin Roach, kristin.l.roach@lawrence.edu
- Women’s Group – Contact: Sara Holtzmann, sara.holtzman@lawrence.edu or Noemi Delgado, noemi.delgado@lawrence.edu
- LIFT UP (First Generation and/or Low Income) – contact Kate Zoromski, kathryn.a.zoromski@lawrence.edu
The following groups currently have no leadership:
- Global Employees
- Emerging Professionals
If you’re interested in joining or leading, please contact Helen Boyd Kramer, at boydh@lawrence.edu.
We’d also love to hear if there are any groups you’d like to create! These groups change depending on who is in them, so you’re welcome to create one if none of these serves you in ways that help you feel included and welcome.
The DEI office is happy to advise and assist in your creation, planning, and communication for your group.
