Institute Diversity’s Staff Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement (SDIE) unit is launching a new Employee Resource Group (ERG) called RESILIENCE on Dec. 10 in the Peachtree Room of the Student Center.   

RESILIENCE is intended to be a peer empowerment group for employees who want to proactively pursue "wholehearted living" and/or give attention to the complexities of their experiences; manage the impact of adversity; turn adversity into opportunity; and effectively adapt to change.

Through RESILIENCE, employees will have opportunities to increase interpersonal savvy, resilience, and strength, and proactively mitigate the impact of routine stress, crisis, and change through educational experiences, facilitated dialogues, mentoring, and peer support.

RESILIENCE is one of six ERGs at Georgia Tech designed to support the Institute’s goal of ensuring like-minded employees can enhance their employment experience and have a greater sense of belonging. The six ERGs are GRIOT (African Heritage), HOLA (Hispanics/Latinos), Web of Brilliance (Introverts), PRIDE (LGBTQIA), RESILIENCE, and Women of Georgia Tech.
