NESTS (Networks of Engagement and Support To Succeed)
“To Promote Diversity and Inclusion”
NESTS will be formed around shared identity or common goals to build networks and community at the University of Hartford. In creating these NESTS we hope to:
Foster inclusion and community through a support network of allies and peers;
Build professional networks;
Provide mentoring and coaching;
Enhance faculty, staff, and student support, recruitment and retention;
Celebrate cultural awareness and diversity competencies;
Advocate for policies and programs to meet the needs of the NESTS;
Serve as a resource for faculty, staff, students, campus organizations, administration and the broader community;
Create a safe space for people to feel comfortable bringing their whole self to work.
