Caregivers Group

Welcome to the Caregivers Employee Resource Group (ERG), where we are dedicated to supporting the diverse needs of employees balancing work with caregiving responsibilities. Whether you are navigating the complexities of parenting, managing special needs situations, or providing eldercare and end-of-life support, our ERG is here to offer resources, community, and guidance. Our goal is to create a supportive network that understands and addresses the unique challenges faced by caregivers, fostering a workplace culture that values and supports the well-being of every employee. Join us as we work together to ensure that caregiving responsibilities are met with empathy, practical solutions, and shared understanding.

We host 2-3 events each academic year, including:

  • Social gatherings to connect with fellow caregivers
