Supervisors, managers, and the campus community play a role in ensuring that all individuals, no matter their background, feel welcome and that no aspect of their identity will mean that they feel as though they aren’t included. The University strives to encourage an environment where employees bring their “full self” to work, where they feel comfortable, willing, and able to talk about what is most important to them. As such, the workplace can play a critical role in breaking barriers and encouraging increased intercultural understanding and communication.

The Autumn presents a wonderful opportunity for us to better understand the diverse faith perspectives represented in our U of A community. This conversation series will briefly explore some Autumn events that many of our fellow faculty, staff and study body celebrate and help attendees feel more comfortable engaging in conversations regarding religion and spirituality in the workplace and educational environment. The majority of the webinar will include a discussion with Rabbi Sam Radwine. Rabbi Radwine will present on the Jewish High Holy Days.
