Staff Congress

Thank you for visiting Staff Congress! We are so happy you have chosen to be a part of the Racer family. Since 1983, Staff Congress has been representing all staff employees on the main campus, as well as the regional campuses. Our purpose is to create a strong bond with staff colleagues, solicit input, express concerns and make suggestions and recommendations based upon staff feedback.

Staff Congress works to promote better cooperation among the University Administration, faculty, students and fellow staff members. When appropriate, Staff Congress will make recommendations to the University Administration, Staff Regent and Board of Regents. We continually strive to facilitate communication and collaboration among staff members.
