Dear Staff,
I am excited to begin my duties as President of
the Kennesaw State University Staff Senate. Continuing the great work that
was started under Kathy Rechsteiner, and serving after her is my honor and
privilege. This year, Staff Senate will be “Building a Brighter Future”.
As you look around our great campus, what do you
see? I see progress, additions and expansion to all the great things that
make KSU a wonderful place to live, learn and work. I feel we are truly
lucky to work in such an inclusive and progressive institution.
As Staff Senators, we serve as representatives
for all KSU staff. In this role, we must be dedicated and passionate to our
goals which are:
• Maintain a University wide communication
network
• Strive to improve the general welfare of 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 provides a wide array of events for
staff and their families each year. We encourage all staff members to become
involved in the many Staff Senate sponsored events. Our goal is to inspire
staff to take an active role in their workplace.
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 schedules and
bylaws.
All Staff are a part of Staff Senate. You do not have to be an elected
member to volunteer on the many committees we have, attend events or even
attend a meeting just to hear what’s going on. We need your input to “Build
a Brighter Future” here at KSU. Please contact us with your thoughts and
ideas. Together, we can make a difference at Kennesaw State University.
Remember:
1. Staff Senate meetings are open to everyone; they are the third Tuesday of
each month.
2. Your ideas and emails are important to us.

3. We need your participation on committees. You do not have to be an
elected Senator to serve on many committees.
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. All FT benefitted employees who have passed their 6 month probationary
period are eligible to serve, so YOU can be a Staff Senator.
Please get involved with Staff Senate and “Build
a Brighter Future” for your career!
