Staff Council
Purpose
The purpose of the Seattle University Staff Council (SUSC) is to serve as a formal representative voice of our diverse and intersectional staff community. The Staff Council will advocate on behalf of staff and make recommendations to University leadership, including the President's Cabinet, on matters which impact staff including Seattle University culture. To ensure a positive environment and the personal and professional growth of all staff, SUSC will partner to develop opportunities for staff across all levels and departments.

Principles in Practice
Staff Participation
Any full-time or regular part-time staff member (after a full year of employment) may be nominated to Staff Council and all staff have the opportunity to vote in the yearly election. Plus, all campus members are welcome to attend monthly meetings.
Kudos for Colleagues
Recognize your colleagues with our Kudos for Colleagues program! Staff Council celebrates staff members for their great work, personal attitude, treatment of others, service to the community, and support of the University’s mission. Join us in spreading a culture of appreciation and recognition in our campus community.
Affinity Groups
Staff Council promotes building community relationships and support for one another. There are several affinity groups on campus, such as the Seattle University Parents Community, Queer-Net, Women of Color in Mission and more!
