Council Committees

The University Staff Advisory Council Bylaws provide for the establishment of standing committees and the creation of ad hoc committees as needed.

Additionally, we are asked, from time to time, to provide nominations and appointments to various University-wide committees. In this section, are membership lists for USAC committees and staff representatives selected for some University administrative committees and initiatives.

Communications Committee leads USAC's operations in communicating internally and to staff across campus via email, our website, social media, and print.
