Senator Resources

What to Expect as a Senator

• Staff Senate is an excellent vehicle for being informed of happenings occurring on campus before it is announced campus-wide.
• Attend a once a month Staff meeting that offers valuable information and excellent presentations for what is happening on our various campuses and within our state. You must have an interest in wanting to be informed of what’s happening.
• Staff Senate provides an opportunity to make a difference by addressing issues/concerns of UNCG employees.
• Committee participation offers Senators an opportunity to gain knowledge & offer ideas.
• Special events, meetings, forums, lunch & learns, sponsored events, etc. are communicated by you to the constituents within you area.
• Expect to receive possible feed-back from your constituents regarding concerns or questions.
• Follow-up with the concerns or questions by informing the Staff Senate Vice-Chair who will communicate with the correct Staff Senate committee to address the question or concern.
• Staff Senate is a great resource for networking.
• You only get out of the Staff Senate what you can put into it!
• Be a part of a dynamic team of individuals who care about UNCG as an institution, as well as, the people who work and go to school on all campuses,.

Attending Meetings Remotely

Staff Senate full body meetings are hybrid through Teams, and the link is available through our events calendar.

Staff Senators who are not able to join us in-person and are attending online during the time of the meeting should make us aware during the roll call so they can be marked as “present” as opposed to “absent”.

Communication Guidelines

Communication with Staff Senate and the staff that we represent is two-way, from constituents to Senators and from Senators to constituents.  When contacted by a constituent with a question or issue, you may know the answer based on current Senate activities or discussions during meetings.  If you are not sure of the response, forward the question/issue via e-mail to the Staff Senate email. If information is received and you are not sure whether to communicate it to constituents, contact the Secretary to clarify before sending it out.  If you will be away from work, arrange with another Staff Senator to cover for you and send out Senate communications if possible.
