Our Commitment to Resources for Equity through Antiracism, Training, Education, and Disruption (CREATED) initiative leads the Enrollment Management and Student Success (EMSS) portfolio’s ongoing, sustained, and future efforts to weave diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work into our jobs, keeping in mind that this work elevates the work we do in service to students, families, and the university community at large.
Our goal is for everything we do to be modeled in, supported through, and measured by our commitment and framing of the work from an anti-racist, diversity, equity, and inclusion lens.
EMSS covers the membership fees for all EMSS staff interested in joining any and all of the UT Faculty and Staff Associations on campus:
- Asian/Asian American Faculty and Staff Association (AAAFSA)

Please submit a separate form for each association you would like to join.
