University of Tennessee Institute for Public Service
the Institute for Public Service is committed to a diverse and inclusive work environment, acknowledging and honoring the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals. Our definition of diversity goes beyond visible differences to affirm the unique realities, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives of individuals, partners and employees.
An inclusive and diverse workforce broadens our perspectives, fosters the exchange of new ideas, enhances problem-solving, and engages the breadth of Tennessee’s talents. Diversity enriches and strengthens the work of the institute and supports our mission of serving business and government to improve the lives of Tennesseans.
At the Institute for Public Service, we value people, all dimensions of diversity, relationships, integrity and excellence. Institute staff continuously work together to ensure an environment where diverse viewpoints are welcome.
