Staff Advisory Council

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE STAFF ADVISORY COUNCIL

The College of Arts and Architecture Staff Advisory Council serves in a consultative role to the dean and Executive Council on issues that relate to the staff in the college, or in other functions as requested by the dean. Issues such as staff policies and practices; continuous quality improvement; diversity, professional development; university, college and unit staff events; customer service or other similar matters are addressed.

A representative from every unit in the college serves on the Staff Advisory Council for a two-year term. Staff members in the college should contact their unit representative with questions or concerns regarding the areas listed above.

Each year, the Staff Advisory Council hosts the All-College Retreat and numerous philanthropic activities. Both the Continuous Quality Improvement Committee and the Professional Development Committee were created in response to issues brought before the Staff Advisory Council.
