Culture is the personality and atmosphere of the university. It defines how things are done and how people interact with one another. It’s the shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that shape the daily work experience of employees. A positive culture attracts and retains talent, boosts engagement and productivity, and sparks innovation and creativity.
