Staff Council Leadership Team: The SU Staff Council Leadership (Leann Wagele, Katie Bowler and Erin Beary Andersen) updated the Cabinet on the work of the council in the last year; March 1 is the one-year anniversary of the council.  The leadership team commented on highlights from the last year and presented feedback from a recent staff survey. SU staff desire to be part of a community, want to feel like their work is part of something bigger. The Staff Council hopes to collaborate with other campus groups to pursue these priorities. Feedback from Staff representatives to the Board of Trustees committees has been positive. The leadership was thanked for their commitment, their work with the Council, and look forward to further reports.
