Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and countless other ways at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 17. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

The Staff Senate Professional Development Committee is pleased to announce a Peace of Mind and End of Life Planning Workshop presented by The Heartwood Collective. This one-hour online interactive workshop supports employees by leading them through the practicalities of end-of-life preparation while also covering how to navigate these topics with parents and older loved ones. Advanced registration is required.

Staff members, this is the time of year when you can self-nominate or nominate a colleague to serve on a university standing committee. Consider getting involved in ½ðɳÓéÀÖ’s shared governance as a staff representative on either the Diversity, Finance, or Honors & Awards Committees. These positions are for a three-year term starting in September. This is an opportunity to collaborate with employees from across the university and learn about other areas at the university.
