Employee Affinity Groups

Building community, connections, and support.

The Office of the Vice Provost for Institutional Inclusive Excellence (OVPIIE) is committed to fostering a more inclusive workplace for all employees at Tufts University. Employee Affinity Groups are one of the many ways that our staff and faculty build community and connections over shared experiences.

Employee Affinity Groups are voluntary, employee-led groups focused on building perspective, creating professional networks, engaging learning and development opportunities, and coming together around shared interests and common goals. Affinity group membership and programs are open to all employees of Tufts University.

Current employee affinity groups supported by OVPIIE include the following:
• Black Faculty and Staff Alliance (BFSA)
• Pa’lante: Tufts Latinx+ Faculty & Staff Alliance
• Tufts Asian and Asian American Affinity Group (TAAAAG)
• Tufts Pride Caucus

Affiliate groups supported by other units include the following:
• Parent Employee Resource Collaborative (PERC) – managed by Human Resources
• Color of Us (CoU) – managed by Tufts Medical Campus
