Creating a vibrant community for employees is part of what makes the University a welcoming, inviting, and inclusive place. Employee groups provide forums for faculty, staff and retirees to gather socially for networking, development, and to discuss shared interests.
THE AdvoCATS
The AdvoCATS is an organization comprised of faculty, staff, students, and community members who have love and compassion for animals and specifically our cat population. We advocate for the cat’s care, health, well-being, protection, and understanding. We want to bring cat awareness by encouraging dialogue, education, and involvement.
