# Human Resources

The mission of the Dordt human resource office is to ensure the success of one of the college's most important assets, its people. We will work to serve Dordt faculty, administration, and staff by implementing, guiding, and administering policies, procedures, and programs that will fully equip and support them both as college employees and as fellow servants in God's kingdom.
