Employee Resource Groups

The Employee Resource Groups-ERG (Formerly known as Inclusive Excellence Employee Resource Groups-IEERG) offer great opportunities for employees to network internally, to provide the inclusion of ideas and solutions, and to create opportunities for mentoring, career development, and social engagement. These groups highlight WPI’s commitment to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging across campus. ERGs also help attract a diverse employee base and further tap into the extraordinary resources and talents of WPI’s employees.

Some of our existing ERGs are provided below. You can also view the mission and areas of focus for each group by clicking here:
