Join the Online Staff Senate Meetings
The U of A campus community is invited to the monthly Staff Senate meetings, held on the second Thursday of every month. In light of the CDC guidelines on social distancing, the Staff Senate has voted to conduct meetings online until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. Please visit the schedule of meetings page for a Teams link to join the proceedings.
Present at each monthly Staff Senate meeting are Debbie McLoud, the associate vice chancellor for human resources, and Gary Smith, the director of transit and parking. They give updates from their departments and answer our questions. University of Arkansas staff are welcome to participate during every monthly meeting. If you have any comments or questions please visit staffsenate.uark.edu/advocating/feedback.
