Staff Council provides a forum for you to voice the concerns of staff.  We work closely with Carnegie Mellon administrators to address current issues and develop the best solutions for the majority of staff.  We have begun a partnership with Faculty Senate to work together on common issues.  Staff COuncil is a great way to meet new people and learn about important issues that face the university.
