YOUR PRESENCE, YOUR IMPACT
Employee Impact Groups (EIGs) at the University of Arkansas are recognized workplace groups led voluntarily by employees. The groups allow employees to support each other through inclusivity, workplace alignment and give employees an opportunity share identities such as gender, ethnicity, lifestyle or other interest.
The EIGs impact the U of A campus and community by providing cultural awareness events, mentoring opportunities for students and partnering with Northwest Arkansas Employee Resource Groups.
