Providing action and intentionality to our shared Principles. Welcome to a monthly series where each month the Workplace Inclusion and Belonging unit spins the dial and spotlights one of UC ANR Principles of Community and turns intention into action.
Join in the unpacking of a new principle every month, learn practical ways to incorporate these values into our daily work, and read highlighted stories of ANR colleagues making a difference. Whether you’re looking to enrich your experience, build inclusive connections, or simply start your month with purpose, you’ll find motivation and achievable ideas right here.
Let’s move beyond words and create a more vibrant, respectful, and welcoming UC ANR community—one principle, and one action, at a time.
OPENNESS
We foster openness through clear communication and a willingness to embrace diverse perspectives, ideas and feedback.
