Our Goals & Vision
Engagement is our motto and a way of life at UNCG. The Staff Senate Engagement Committee fosters connections by identifying and coordinating activities or initiatives on campus that support community involvement and engagement among UNCG staff. A strong emphasis is placed on the Senate’s active presence and commitment to the UNCG community. Senators and their constituencies are encouraged to share their interests, needs, and ideas for engagement with the committee chairs throughout the year.

Engagement Opportunities
Spartan Season of Giving
Every holiday season, the Staff Senate help make the holidays a little brighter for individuals and families in our community. We always have a big wrapping party to tie a big bow around this special event!
Family Room
Family Room Foster Care Resource Center is a nonprofit organization that provides love, encouragement, and support to families who foster and the children in their care. The Staff Senate collects donations, helps keep their inventory in order, and the store tidy.
Spartan Open Pantry
Founded and operated by Wesley-Luther United Methodist Church, UNC Greensboro’s food pantry provides students and employees who need a little help at the end of the month, homeless students and families who depend on the pantry for complete support, and assists our neighbors who need a hand. The SOP is located in College Place UMC at 509 Tate St., on the corner of Tate and Spring Garden Street. The pantry entrance is on the back side of the church off the parking lot. Free parking is available during pantry hours.
Honoring Veterans and Armed service Members
The Staff Senate is honoring veterans and service members with a card-signing and drop-in event, inviting the campus community to express gratitude and connect. Additional activities are being considered to further recognize and support our veterans.
UNCG Garden Plots
Available for use by UNCG faculty, staff, and students, the purpose of the UNCG Gardens is to build healthy, interactive urban communities through the collective production of locally grown, organic food.
SPARTAN TEACHER SUPPLY DRIVE
The Staff Senate hosts an annual drive to help furnish the classrooms of our graduating educators at UNCG. Supplies gathered will be distributed to our graduating educators and the remaining supplies will be donated to the Guilford County Teacher Supply Warehouse.
