Belonging
As a Catholic research university, Notre Dame is committed to defending the dignity of every human person. In partnership with the Office of Belonging, Engagement, and Mission, we invite you to explore how we are working to promote a more inclusive and welcoming campus environment. For more information on University-wide commitments, please visit weareall.nd.edu.
Employee Resource Groups
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led organizations created through shared interests, experiences, and aspirations. Participation in an ERG allows employees to connect with colleagues across campus, grow professionally, strengthen personal well-being, and build a beloved community. ERGs at Notre Dame are open and inclusive to all employees regardless of your identity - we are all ND!
Find your Community
Our most important resource is you. To that end, we strive to deliver a remarkable employee experience driven by a profound commitment to your well-being, professional growth, and sense of belonging. ERGs exist to welcome you into a collegial community of people deeply connected and inspired to be a Force for Good in the world. As bridges to the beloved community, all ERGs are welcoming, safe spaces and open to all interested employees.

Staff Advisory Council (SAC)
The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) is a group of Notre Dame non-exempt employees who serve as a pipeline of information between the University administration and staff. SAC is an advisory group that does not form policy, but shares important information about the University with other staff members and also collects ideas and thoughts from the staff to help advise the administration on important issues.
