AFFINITY RESOURCE GROUPS
Affinity Resource Groups (ARGs) support current faculty and staff in actively and intentionally cultivating an inclusive community and culture at Wake Forest University. The collective goals of ARGs are to: Serve as a catalyst for change that provides diverse representation and experiential knowledge, facilitates dialogue, and represents the experiences of underrepresented communities to support the mission of the institution. Provide professional development, mentoring, and networking opportunities. Offer social and community engagement via programming and volunteerism. Collaborate across ARGs and campus stakeholders to act as thought partners, harness knowledge, and share resources to foster intersectional awareness. Contribute to current, inclusive faculty and staff recruitment and retention efforts. Partner with and support opportunities (e.g., academic departments or Campus Life offices) that enhance students’ lives.
