Story

The Staff Senate acts as an organized voice to promote the general interests of the Staff. We disseminate information and provide opportunities for Staff members to actively serve the University. Through Staff Senate meetings, we provide an open forum for the free expression of ideas and concerns. Together, we make a difference!

The Staff Senate is committed to building stronger bonds within the staff and encouraging cooperation between the staff, faculty, students, administration, and the Board of Trustees for the benefit of the University. It shall provide an opportunity for all Staff members at Kennesaw State University to show and be shown compassion. It will also serve as the key player in maintaining a workplace that encourages input from all staff in creating a harmonious environment. The Staff Senate will continue to work for positive participation in constructive endeavors that benefit the University and the Staff representation.

Here are just a few dedicated goals the Staff Senate has exemplified:

• Improved communication and further developed good working relationships with other areas of the University.
• Sustained a working culture that enables Staff to contribute their best to the KSU.
• Promoted and facilitated Staff participation in the University community and furthered the University’s missions by encouraging increased Staff participation.
