What is CARE?

The College Activities and Recognition for Employees (CARE) Committee was formed in 2007 to promote a positive campus environment by providing opportunities for employee recognition & support and for social events. The Committee is a cross-functional group of faculty, staff and graduate assistants who volunteer their time and talent to make a difference in the lives of our employees.

CARE’s main objectives:  1) Provide opportunities for employee recognition and support; 2) Provide opportunities for social events; and 3) Contribute to a positive work environment at Rockford University

Examples of Employee Recognition and Support:

– Employee of the Month/Year
– First Fridays @ Four (monthly)
– Holiday Party
– Other social events for faculty & staff

CARE invites faculty, staff and graduate assistants to join the CARE Committee or to volunteer to help Committee members on a per-event basis. Please email CARE@rockford.edu if you have a passion for Rockford University and want to make a difference for our employees.
