As part of this process,  MICA has collected the campus community’s hopes, wishes, and feedback regarding a reimagined HR at MICA through:

• The HR Reimagined Survey for individual input from October 2 through 16 – there were 172 individual entries, with participation by 89 staff members, 45 faculty members, 25 students, 9 trustees, and 4 unidentified respondents.
• Focus groups between October 14 and 28 – there were 69 participants, with 41 staff members, 14 faculty members, 7 students, and 7 vice presidents.

You may view the input from these activities in three formats: 1) For a quick glance, a short summary of the common themes and expectations from the survey results. 2) In the interest of transparency, the survey entries as largely raw data*. *The light editing involves removing names and summarizing a few revealing details in the open comments. 3) The focus group input as a list of themes and comment highlights.

Informed by the campus input, administrative leaders is relaunching HR as People, Belonging & Culture in Fall 2021. The presentation from the February 2021 info sessions for the campus community that lays out the new concept and proposed structure can be viewed here.
