Affinity Groups

At the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, Advocacy, and Leadership (IDEAL), we foster belonging through Affinity Groups, providing faculty and staff with spaces for connection, advocacy, and growth.

While each group centers on specific identities or experiences, all faculty and staff are welcome to join. Whether seeking support, expanding perspectives, or engaging in advocacy, these groups help build community and promote inclusivity across Temple University.

Promote Advocacy

Work together to create a more equitable and inclusive campus by addressing key issues and amplifying voices.

Engage in Professional Development

Gain insights, mentorship, and leadership opportunities within a supportive network.

Foster Cross-Campus Collaboration

Strengthen relationships with colleagues across departments and disciplines.
