Join Staff Senate, Make a Difference for Fellow Employees

Are you ready to be a key voice for your co-workers, advocate for meaningful changes and celebrate the outstanding contributions of staff at the U of A? Joining the Staff Senate is your opportunity to lead, collaborate and shape the workplace we all share.

Staff Senate is a key elected body in the U of A community, among the Faculty Senate, College Council, Associated Student Government and Graduate Professional Student Congress.

The Staff Senate represents you. As an elected senator, you'll be a direct line of communication between staff and campus leadership, advocating for important issues such as compensation, benefits, safety, parking and workplace improvements. Your voice matters, and this is your chance to use it to make a real impact.

Staff Senate hopefuls first must be nominated by two employees, one of whom can be the candidate.

The nomination period begins Tuesday, Jan. 14, with an online form available then at staffsenate.uark.edu, with a close of 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31. The website in February will feature nominee photos and statements. Online balloting will be open the week of Feb. 10.
