Announcements

Body

The Staff Senate Professional Development Committee is pleased to announce a Peace of Mind and End of Life Planning Workshop presented by The Heartwood Collective. This one-hour online interactive workshop supports employees by leading them through the practicalities of end-of-life preparation while also covering how to navigate these topics with parents and older loved ones. Advanced registration is required.

Body

Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and countless other ways at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 17. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

Body

Nominations are now being accepted through Friday, March 14 for Staff Senate. Senators have a front-row seat to learn and engage in larger decisions made at the university. The group reviews new programs and policies and meets with administrative leaders to ensure staff input is considered in the decision-making process. There are eight openings for the 2025-27 Staff Senate term.
