At Seattle University, we are dedicated to educating the whole person, to professional formation, and to empowering leaders for a just and humane world. We are intent on inclusive excellence, with a clear commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in all our work, including our investments in our curriculum, pedagogy, student support, professional development, recruitment, hiring and evaluation.
We are pleased to announce that the Flexwork Pilot was a success as confirmed by our survey and anecdotal data, and Cabinet has approved a flexible work arrangement policy. Flexible work arrangements must continue to ensure we achieve and maintain service and operational excellence while delivering a thriving and vibrant campus experience in keeping with the university’s Jesuit character and the expectations of our students. You can find detailed information on the Staff Flexwork Program website.
