Affinity Groups

BIPOC Employee Alliance

The BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) Employee Alliance was formed in Fall 2021 by BIPOC employees. This group is for BIPOC employees at Union to foster a community and create a visible social network for those employees who identify as BIPOC. BIPOC Employee Alliance recognizes our intersectionalities as communities spanning borders, genders, races, and other identities. We recognize the unique cultures and experiences of our communities and join in solidarity for the advancement and retention of employees who identify as BIPOC.

Women of Color Collective

Women of Color Collective (WOCC) was established in 2018 to bring together self-identified women of color (including Arab/Middle Eastern, Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African, Latinx, Native/Indigenous, and Multiracial) to foster a sense of community and solidarity. We welcome students, faculty, and staff who identify as a woman of color at Union College. Women of Color Collective has been instrumental in providing opportunities for self-identified women of color to connect with one another and share personal, academic, professional, and social challenges.
