Work
The heart of an excellent, engaged, thriving public university is its faculty and staff. An inspired and motivated employee community, by its own nature, promotes student success and fuels innovation and discovery. As we move our Dynamic Strategy forward, we recognize that people are the center of progress. We want every faculty, staff member, and University leader to connect with our mission and vision and find a place for themselves in the path ahead. We know we must recognize and reward the role they will play in our ongoing success, and we also must recruit talented individuals who are ready to join our journey.
