Purpose

The University Union Student Employee Program provides for on-campus employment, avenues for professional and personal growth, and vehicles for developing leadership skills among West Virginia State students.  It augments classroom learning with intrapersonal skills.  Students, as a result, have the  opportunity to make greater contributions to the college community and become more responsible citizens.

 

Diversity Philosophy

To foster an environment that values cultures and lifestyles, the University Union is committed to actively combating bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or any other force that seeks to suppress another individual or group.

To this end, it is the philosophy of the University Union that staff should not engage in any type of activity that colludes or perpetuates bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, harassment.  Such activity includes, but is not limited to, the use of jokes, insults, gossip, and non-inclusive language aimed at different cultures or lifestyles and any practice of discrimination that affects this philosophy.  Further, staff should challenge themselves, all students, and co-workers to be open to and supportive of this philosophy.
