Diversity

Interest Groups

Diversity interest groups offer employees the opportunity to share friendship, peer support, fun and relaxation with co-workers. Interest groups collaborate to make connections and celebrate the differences that make each of us unique. Employees are welcome to participate in any interest group.

For more information about diversity interest groups at Mayo Clinic, please email us.
