Happy New Year from Staff Advisory Council

Staff Advisory Council members represent a broad cross-section of the University, and we serve as an advisory council to the University president.

The council’s mission is to facilitate an active and participatory line of communication and engagement among the University staff and to provide a forum through which staff can raise, discuss and make recommendations to the University president and the administration in support of the University’s mission. We seek to ensure that our University offers a positive and productive learning and working environment where integrity, tolerance and respect are affirmed.

We’re here to help, and that means that we need your input.

Activities within our scope are:

• hearing issues of general staff interest and concern and bringing such matters to the attention of the president to ensure that those issues and concerns are known, considered and addressed;
• facilitating the sharing of information with staff members in order to improve their general knowledge and understanding of University activities;
• referring staff issues or questions to the attention of other University individuals or committees whenever appropriate to ensure that the issues are known and addressed through appropriate channels;
• offering suggestions and recommendations to the president on general issues of interest and concern to staff and generating ideas for organizational improvement; and
• addressing agenda items or undertaking specific projects or activities at the request of the president on matters of general staff interest.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for improvement that fall into these categories, please share them with us. We encourage you to reach out to our members. Or, if you would prefer to remain anonymous, suggestions can be made on our web site (www.coastal.edu/staffadvisory) or through the boxes mounted in Atlantic Hall, Baxley Hall, the Coastal Science Center, the Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts, Facilities, Sands Hall (post office) and the Wall Building.

To stay up-to-date on the progress we’re making on your behalf, please visit our website regularly. On it, you will find contact information for our members, our by-laws, our meeting dates and our meeting minutes.

Sincerely,


The Staff Advisory Council
