Culture, Learning & Engagement (CLE)
The center of an organization’s culture, learning, and engagement is its people. And because people are dynamic and complex creators, our goal is to support and create environments that encourage people to uniquely build upon, elevate, and honor the work that came before them. By supporting personal and professional growth by actively and proactively responding to needs that improve employee satisfaction, well-being, and engagement, we believe we are able to help shape and sustain a healthy, agile workforce.
Message from the Assistant Chancellor for Culture, Learning, and Engagement, Bria Marcelo
