Mission
The Lander University Staff Senate exists to ensure the welfare of its staff. Serving as a liaison between staff, administration, faculty and students. The senate advises the administration on matters concerning the staff. This focus provides staff a voice to promote a positive and respectful work environment that sustains both personal and professional growth. In support of the university's strategic plan, specifically the goal of being an employer of choice. The Staff Senate strives foremost to contribute to the overall success of Lander University and its students.
The university's diverse workplace environment provides specialized resources for Lander students, and as such, the employees in those areas have a wide range of skills, experience and professional development.
Members of the Staff Senate are colleagues, representing the staff in their work area by voicing the staff's ideas, thoughts and concerns to the administration. In working alongside their constituents, each Senator has a better understanding of the unique needs of staff being represented.
Senators represent staff (non-faculty) employees who work in the campus areas identified below. The number of senators for each area is determined by the total number of staff (non-faculty) employees working in that area. At this time, the ratio is one senator for every 20 employees.
Staff employees may share their ideas, thoughts or concerns with any senate member, regardless of the assigned area. However, staff may only vote on candidates from their specific area.
