Faculty & Staff Community Networks Faculty & Staff Community Networks (FSCNs), or employee resource groups (see list below), are identity-based organizations led by BU faculty and staff with the goals of building connections and fostering a sense of belonging among their respective community members and allies. The overarching mission: to catalyze a deeper sense of unity among individuals from underrepresented communities and their allies and to ensure that the University remains an institution where differences are understood to be a source of mutual power, insight, and effectiveness. As such, our FSCNs are open to all members of the communities they serve (and their allies). The missions of FSCNs cannot be designed to advance specific political viewpoints or ideologies. Any BU faculty or staff member can start a new FSCN! Click here to learn more about our existing communities or to express interest in starting a new FSCN.
