We also recommend proposals to the administration that are designed to improve morale and advocate for the well-being of staff employees.

For Staff Council, the shared governance partnership promotes collaboration and shared decision-making that accentuates the prosperity of the university.
“Through the shared governance meetings, we have been able to see the university through a wider lens and have discussions with both the faculty, graduate and undergraduate students on a number of topics and we will be working together on a few upcoming initiatives,” said Jessica Gammey and Heather Martin in a statement provided to Ҵýƽ Today. Gammey and Martin are the Staff Council co-chairs for this year.
