Affinity Groups

At the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Advocacy, and Leadership (IDEAL), we foster belonging through Affinity Groups, providing faculty and staff with spaces for connection, advocacy, and growth.

While each group centers on specific identities or experiences, all faculty and staff are welcome to join. Whether seeking support, expanding perspectives, or engaging in advocacy, these groups help build community and promote inclusivity across Temple University.
