EM Staff Development
The EM Staff Development Committee is represented by colleagues from throughout the division in an effort to support and encourage the professional development of all staff, in addition to providing social and wellness events.
EM Community Care Committee
Enrollment Management’s Community Care Committee is founded on the idea that active community involvement encourages teamwork, fosters positive action, contributes to a culture of social entrepreneurship and innovation and develops a deep sense of purpose in each of us.
The team’s goal is to:

- Promote service opportunities to EM staff which facilitate self growth.
- Serve communities by mobilizing EM staff to donate financial support, time, or skills.
