Becoming a Staff Senator is a great way to get involved with the university community and to have an impact on your workplace. The Senate provides many opportunities to learn about how the University works and to network with administrators and staff members outside of your unit.

The Staff Senate will hold a Prospective Staff Senate Information Session on Wednesday, June 5, from 11:30 a.m to noon. The session will also be recorded if you are not able to attend in person.

The Senate accepts nominations each June, and elections are held in July. Terms begin in August and are for two years. 2019 dates are below:

• Nominations accepted Monday, June 10, through Friday, June 21, at 5 p.m.
• Elections held Monday, July 8, through Friday, July 19, at 5 p.m.
