History

The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) was established in 1987 to help foster relations between staff members and inform staff of upcoming changes and/or activities within School of Nursing (SoN).  Once every quarter an all school staff meeting is held and in the summer a staff retreat day held at the Waterfront Center adjacent to the Husky Stadium. 

Goal Statement

To increase morale and develop a sense of community amongst the staff throguh School-sanctioned meeting, training events and the maintenance of several information conduits.

Purpose

• To provide input on appropriate staff-related issues to faculty and Dean, as initiated by professional and classified staff or as requested by faculty or Dean;
  
• To provide regular feedback to SoN classified and professional staff, department chairs, and the Dean's office by email;
  
• To improve interdepartmental staff communication; and
  
• To utilize training to advance work skills and working relationships.

Membership Composition

The Staff Advisory Council will consist of representatives from each department and/or offices within the SoN.  Representatives serve two year terms and may be elected as a alternate for a third year if deamed necessary.

Partnership

• Staff Advisory is partnering with the Faculty Council to resolve faculty-staff related issues and unresolved issues will be sent to the Dean.
