4 Prime Pillars

The focus of the ACT initiative:

  • Growth and Opportunity: Uncovering dust from hidden talents in a collaborative manner will benefit creating a spirit of unity among Admins.
  • Raising the gauge on morale: Seeing self-value as a contributing citizen, embracing self-appreciation, reaching out to resources for support, promote valuing one another as Admins campuswide.
  • Actively bringing work/life balance to the forefront: Fostering a healthy, happy workplace鈥� exploring ways to take time for self-care and reminding one another to make this a habit.
  • Bridging the Sense of belonging and honoring Individuality: Acknowledging value and contribution as a member of Shocker Nation, closing the gap on disconnect

The Admin鈥檚 Support Group will not replace any trainings offered by the Staff Senate or the University. The goal of this group is to eliminate the sense of disconnect, or low sense of belonging, to enhance an individual鈥檚 working environment and a feeling of a appreciation as employees at Shocker Nation. We all care about our students, let鈥檚 care about one another too.
