Becoming a Member of USAC

Membership on the University Staff Advisory Council provides an opportunity for staff to learn more about the institution as a whole and to be a part of discussions about how to improve the University of Richmond as both a unique learning environment and workplace for staff. The council responds to staff submissions of concerns and works with relevant campus partners to answer questions from the community.
