Review the Internal Communications Matrix

Have you had a chance to review the recently created Internal Communications Matrix for employees yet? The Campus Climate Team’s Employee Satisfaction Workgroup encourages you to review the document, which was developed as a result of the Internal Information Distribution and Consumption Guidelines project. It provides a standardized institutional communication distribution guideline to help with understanding, participation in and effectiveness of internal communication processes.

IDI Grant applications: Just do it!

Alex Berry, one of the 2020-21 LLCC Innovation in Diversity and Inclusion Grant recipients says, “Just do it! I had thought about submitting something earlier in the application process, but hadn’t until after talking to an IDI Grant committee member. Then, I decided to go for it. If you have ideas, just ask! The committee is helpful and provides guidance along the way.”
