Our Vision and Purpose
The USC is committed to being an active partner in the continued success of the institution. We recognize the pivotal role all community members play as an integral part of the campus community and its success.
Further, we are acutely aware of the importance of strengthening employee awareness of mission–critical issues at the University and seek to foster positive morale through increased channels of communication throughout all levels of the institution. Through our leadership, synergy, and ongoing collaboration with the administration, the Staff Council can provide valuable perspectives to the administration on matters of significant concern to classified, wage, and administrative employees.
The Staff Council seeks to:
- Improve communication among and between administration, faculty, and staff of important substantive University initiatives while providing an outlet for employee input and feedback;
- Build a strong, mission-driven community of dedicated and empowered employees that strive to exceed the expectations of our customers, both internal and external;
- Initiate and promote programs that enhance, improve, and sustain employee morale;
- Support University initiatives that provide effective mechanisms to increase employee participation in design, development, and implementation of furthering our mission.
In striving to accomplish its vision and mission, the USC:
- Serves as a representative body for staff (classifies, wage, and administrative faculty).
- Acts in an advisory capacity to the University administration.
- Recommends staff representatives to University Committees when appropriate.
- Provides a forum for the exchange of information between staff and other University constituencies.
- Fosters a spirit of respect, dignity, unity, and cooperation among staff, faculty, administration, and students.
- Provides referrals for individual concerns and problems to appropriate University resources.
- Accepts and share responsibility with the administration, faculty, and students to attain the stated goals of the University.
