I’m honored to lead The Colorful Connection, Navient’s LGBTQ+ ERG. The Colorful Connection seeks to create an inclusive community that empowers LGBTQ+ individuals and allies, while fostering an atmosphere that allows everyone to learn and grow. We also strive to serve our local communities and advocate for inclusion, diversity, and equity for all Navient employees. I encourage anyone who is struggling in their ID&E journey to seek perspectives that differ from their own and to always choose kindness!

Ray Mahalak
Lead for The Colorful Connection ERG

I am the Lead of the Black/African American ERG known today as the Black, Engaged & Empowered Professionals (BEEP). In my nearly 24 years with the organization, leading this ERG continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences for me. Creating and nurturing a safe space for members, we strive to offer a sense of belonging, connection, perspective, engagement, and growth. It’s great to listen to the interests and needs of BEEP members, but even more amazing to deliver!

Qiana Robinson
Lead for BEEP ERG

I’ve had the very rewarding opportunity to co-lead Navient’s Mind & Body Wellness ERG. The M&BW ERG is a growing group of fellow employees from all types of backgrounds, roles and experiences. It serves to inspire and empower others to take charge of their health as we strive to be the best version of ourselves. It’s great to be surrounded by like-minded and motivated peers as we all look to support each other in life’s journey at Navient. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to be part of the M&BW ERG!
