On Jan 25th, the Office of Institutional Culture held our Spring Culture Kickoff Breakfast. At this breakfast, 110 employees, staff and leaders met to enjoy a meal as we shared and discussed UM's culture.
President Frenk, Jacqueline Travisano (our new COO), Vice Provost Isaac Prilletensky, and Laura Kohn-Wood gave a short talk supporting UM's initiative to continually improve our culture.
We were all assigned to sit at random tables so that we could mix with other departments. At my table, it was nice to hear how different units (such as housing and HR) are applying UM's values within their own groups.
The Culture Kickoff Breakfast was an opportunity for the Office of Institutional Culture to say thanks to the groups that help us in our charge: the Culture Champions, the Engagement Champions, the Intergroup Dialogue Working Group, the I Am the U Facilitators, the Culture of Belonging Action Team, and our Student Leaders. If you want to learn more about how you (and your unit) can get more involved in UM's culture initiative, please send us an email at umculture@miami.edu
