It Starts with You: Take the Culture Challenge Aspirational Culture Statement “Student Affairs at UC Berkeley is a great workplace where staff trust the people they work with, take pride in what they do, and feel a sense of community in support of the student experience.� Take the culture challenge to experience trust, pride, and community. Step 1: TRUST * Assume positive intent with colleagues. Practice respect and fairness with every staff member and student you encounter on campus.
Step 2: PRIDE * Reflect on the work within your job that is meaningful and how it makes a difference for students and colleagues. BONUS: Think about how one of your colleagues makes a difference for others and tell them how much they positively impact your organization! Step 3: COMMUNITY * Invite a colleague to lunch who you don’t normally eat with, sit with someone new at break, or take a 10 minute walk around Berkeley together.
