Welcome!

We are the voice of classified and non-student wage employees at George Mason University. Our website has been designed to serve our constituents as both a tool and a resource. Within the site you can learn what the Staff Senate is working on and how you can contribute an issue or concern to the Senate for consideration. The site also contains useful information Staff members often want but don't necessarily know where to find.

If you would like to join the Staff Senate listserve or have any questions or concerns for the Senate, please send us an email at staffsenate@gmu.edu.

Message From the Chair

Thank you for visiting the Staff Senate website!

It has been my honor to serve on the Senate, representing you and your colleagues, for the past five years.  The collective commitment of all senators to educate, appreciate, and advocate for staff is undeniable, and we are pleased you are here to take part in the discussion.

As we transition into a new era for Mason, with a new administration at the helm, the Senate remains deeply committed to developing and maintaining a positive and collaborative working relationship with administrators, faculty, students, and staff.  Now more than ever, it is important for staff members to share ideas and concerns, both new and old.  It is also more important than ever that we work alongside our student and faculty colleagues to strengthen our community and position Mason for the future.

I hope you will take a participatory role in the Staff Senate.  You do not have to be a senator to make a difference.  Attend a meeting or event, and let the Senate know what is on your mind. People like you make the difference at Mason every day.  I thank you for your commitment and dedication to the university, and I look forward to hearing from you

Thank You,

Joey Carls, Staff Senate Chair
