Native American Faculty and Staff Association

The Native American Faculty and Staff Association (NAFSA) provides a support network for faculty and staff who support Native American and Alaskan Native communities. NAFSA advocates for professional growth, representation, and education about Indigenous cultures, contributing to an inclusive university environment. All employees are welcome to engage in NAFSA’s mission and activities.

Employee Resource Groups at UC Davis bring together faculty and staff who are committed to mentorship, retention, and advancing a sense of belonging for colleagues across campus. ERGs build community, advocate for needs within their interest areas, and often volunteer their time to support campus events and programs. They create welcoming spaces where colleagues can connect, learn from one another, celebrate shared experiences, and lift each other up.

Gifts to ERGs help fund community-building activities, programs that support engagement and professional growth, visibility efforts such as tabling and outreach, and initiatives that strengthen cross-departmental connection and retention. Your support directly enhances opportunities for faculty and staff to thrive and helps cultivate an inclusive, connected, and collaborative university community.
