If you’d like to be a voice for staff members at UCCS, now is your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From now until March 25<\/strong>, the UCCS Staff Association is open for nominations for staff members interested in serving as elected members of the Staff Association Executive Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different from volunteer committees, these elected leadership positions allow staff members to vote on important measures for campus. Through an elected position, staff members can serve as leaders on campus, helping to develop university policies and advocating for staff members’ wellbeing. They will also take part in monthly meetings with Chancellor Venkat Reddy and the Cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past several years, staff governance has offered critical guidance for campus leadership at UCCS. Key policy recommendations have allowed for free menstrual products to be made available in women’s and gender neutral bathrooms across campus, more compassionate snow day leave policies, a change to annual evaluations that allowed for changed job duties due to COVID-19 and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nominations accepted until March 25, 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
