Staff Senate & Staff Association

What we do

Staff Senate is a dedicated community committed to making the staff experience at SMCM engaging, fun and meaningful. We plan community gatherings including Fall Fest, advocate for staff development and leadership, and act as a conduit for the staff voice on campus. If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, send an email to ecstaffsenate@smcm.edu or come to a Staff Senate meeting - we meet every first Wednesday of the month in the Glendening Annex!

A group of thirteen adults pose together outside on wooden benches in front of a brick building and trees on a sunny day.
Four adults stand and converse in a sunlit building lobby with large windows; one person holds a travel mug while others listen and smile.

Events

Join us throughout each semester for scheduled programming aimed at social, professional development and networking opportunities.
