About us
The Staff Senate was established on October 16, 2018 to represent the University of Cincinnati staff. Our role is to provide service to staff through advocacy, education and appreciation. The Staff Senate represents a “unified voice” to advocate for staff employee concerns and, thorough its elected officers, make recommendations to senior university leadership.
