Dear Staff,

It is with honor and privilege that I begin my duties as President of the Kennesaw State University Staff Senate. I do believe that we serve as representatives for all KSU staff on many levels here at this great institution. Our responsibilities as staff senators are many and we must be dedicated and passionate to our goals:

  • Develop and maintain a university-wide communication network.

  • Strive to improve the general welfare of all staff

  • Educate the KSU Community on the importance of professional staff development and career enhancement opportunities

  • Emphasize that the morale of the staff is an indicator of the health of the institution

  • Provide opportunities to increase campus-wide staff involvement

Staff Senate also prides itself on being a catalyst to foster community spirit at KSU. A wide variety of events planned for staff and their families are aimed at encouraging staff members to enjoy an active role in their workplace. These activities are also expressions of staff appreciation for the hard work and dedication that the KSU staff contributes on a daily basis.

I encourage all Staff employees to communicate with their elected representatives and alternates. Please visit our Staff Senate website for news, rosters, events information, meeting schedule and bylaws.

You are a part of Staff Senate even if you are not an elected senator. You do have a role to play as we embark on “Charting a Course for Success.” We need your ideas and participation to help KSU Staff Senate chart and maintain our course and reach our destination of goals for all staff members.

Remember:

  1. Staff Senate meetings are open to everyone. 3rd Tuesday of each month.

  2. Your ideas and emails are important to us. Staff_Senate@kennesaw.edu

  3. We need your participation on committees... Yes, you can be part of a Staff Senate committee even if you are not an elected senator.

  4. Get to know your Staff Senator. See the roster on our website.

  5. Staff Senate votes on issues and projects that represent all staff.

  6. You, too, can be an elected Staff Senator.
