Employee Diversity and Wellness Mission Statement

Each member of the Winthrop University faculty and staff plays an important role in the education of our students and in reflecting our reputation as a national model for a student-centered university experience. It is the mission of the Division of Human Resources, Employee Diversity and Wellness to provide faculty and staff with a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming work environment free from distractions to allow each employee to use their gifts, talents, knowledge, and skills in their respective areas to provide our students with a national-caliber learning experience.
