UGA Staff Council

Making a Great Place to Work Even Better!

The mission of Staff Council is to participate in the process of University governance by advising the President of the University, electing staff representatives to the University Council, and by providing a sounding board for staff to communicate to Administration.

Members of Staff Council are elected by their peers and represent all departments, divisions, and schools at the University. All non-faculty employees who are designated as regular (not temporary) are eligible for membership in the Staff Council.

Staff members attend the Staff Appreciation Day with the National Championship trophies
