The PEAK Initiative

PEAK is about the peoplework, and services needed systemwide to support our world-class education, research, and outreach. At its heart, this initiative is about bringing together the talented people who do similar work to share resources, consistently deliver needed services and provide equitable support to every campus, college, and unit of the University. 


What’s happened recently? 

  • A kickoff event was held for Phase 2 units in February.
  • Phase 2 units are forming transition teams and conducting preliminary/planning meetings.

Weaving equity and inclusion within every aspect of human resources is paramount to the success of every program, service, and employee engagement, and will inherently result in fostering a diverse workforce.
