Mission

CUWFA is the leading professional voice of work-life and well-being at institutions of higher education. We promote interventions that lead to positive workplace environments, and advance solutions for individuals at every stage of life and the institutions at large. CUWFA aims to fulfill its mission by building and transmitting knowledge grounded in practice and research, strengthening the vitality and supportive capacity of its members’ communities, and promoting the ideals of a caring organization where faculty and staff can thrive.

In working toward this mission, CUWFA provides services to meet three key objectives:

  • Gather information on campus work-family roles, positions, and supervisory structures
  • Provide a forum for the discussion of issues related to professional practice
  • Create informal opportunities for networking and professional exchange

Gather Information on Emerging Issues Relevant to Campus Programs

  • Maintain a database of campus work-family programs
  • Gather data on policies affecting work-family integration among students, faculty, and staff
  • Disseminate information on relevant research trends, publications, and events

Contribute to the Understanding and Development of the Work-Family Field

  • Initiate projects linking research to practice, such as benchmarking surveys and "best practice" profiles
  • Identify barriers and define the conditions that support change
