One of this committee's tasks is to recommend staff appointments to various university committees. University committees serve in an advisory capacity on issues that impact employees as a whole, and it is important that members have a well-developed understanding of staff issues as they relate to the mission of the committee on which they serve. A new list of interested candidates is compiled each year; if you have shown interest in the past, please submit your name again. Below is a brief summary of university committees that have staff appointments. Staff membership on each committee is limited and the recommended term of service is set at a maximum of three years.
