Staff Interest Groups

As part of USAC's continuing efforts to connect staff across campus, USAC will act as a support and resource for Staff Interest Groups. USAC encourages staff to seek ways to gather around shared interests in conjunction with their employment and will support established interest groups by listing contact information on the USAC website, helping promote group events and initiatives, and providing a small amount of funding to established groups for programs that are open to all staff.

Groups can formally establish themselves by submitting a purpose statement, signatures of at least 10 members, creating and maintaining a listserv or email distribution, allowing for a representative to be listed as a contact on the USAC website, and submitting a year-end report.

USAC will provide funding for established groups to support a meeting, event, speaker, program, etc. that will be open to the campus community. Funding will be provided through an application process. Following completion of the application, funding will be determined by USAC at the monthly meeting following submission. Upon approval, funding will be provided for approved expenditures by reimbursement. Applications are currently being accepted for up to $100 per event. Applications can be submitted to the Secretary/Treasurer, Jennifer O'Donnell, at jbrenzov@richmond.edu for review by the Council.

For more detailed information, please contact a member of the Executive Committee or usac@richmond.edu.
