With the new blog format, we will continue to use space to feature topics of inclusion and highlight upcoming cultural events, holidays, celebrations, and traditions centered on recognizing and supporting our wonderfully diverse staff here at Clemson. We value education, open and honest conversations, resource sharing, and a community of belonging. As you read and reflect, we encourage you to notice how unique perspectives can elevate your workspace and personal lives.
While we plan to feature topics for the future, we want to hear from you. Please contact Staff Senator, Alisha Maw, at amaw@clemson.edu to share your feedback and ideas.
