Staff Interests Committee
The Staff Interests Committee (SIC) champions the professional well-being, equitable
                              representation, and recognition of staff. We advocate for staff, uphold professional
                              integrity, and address concerns through collaboration with administration and proactive
                              dialogue.
By fostering transparency, celebrating achievements, and contributing to meaningful
                              change, we strengthen the staff community at ÐÜèÔÚÏßÊÓÆµ.
As college governance structures provide a place for faculty input and involvement, SIC creates a pipeline of listening and dialogue between Human Resources, administration and our staff.
Group members are a point of contact and resource to all staff on campus. They consult and collaborate with Human Resources, Culture and Inclusive Excellence, and the President's office to advocate, inform and increase awareness.
The committee meets monthly during the academic year. Committee members serve 2-year terms (the inaugural year is staggered from 1–3 years).
