Staff Council welcomes Spring with connection, conversation, and cheer
The Staff Council’s Build and Blossom Spring Soiree brought colleagues together to celebrate the season of renewal with fresh connections, lighthearted conversation, and community building.
Our Mission
The DSC was formed in 2016 to serve and represent non-faculty and non-union Danforth staff members. We seek to collaborate with the senior administration (Associate Vice Chancellor/Provost level and above) and Human Resources to broaden and strengthen the lines of communication on matters that impact staff and to provide advice to the administration on policy decisions
Our Focus Areas
- Gather and prioritize a list of desired outcomes to advocate for when communicating with University & HR leadership.
- Engage a broad set of staff across the campus and ensure ongoing representation of a variety of campus units.
- Develop pathways to collaboration among committees to allow for committees to work together to create new, exciting ways to engage the Danforth community.
- Provide opportunities for staff to connect through social events and collaborations with other groups on campus.
- Improve campus-wide communication by developing processes to have updated distribution lists and more frequent regular distribution of information.
- Collate a history of DSC achievements to communicate the value of our organization.
We’re all learning together and are invested in each other’s success. I have found it to be a supportive community and gained skills and perspectives that help me take on other challenges.
