The Staff Senate meets the fourth Wednesday of each month except for November (will be held 11/17/21) and December (will be held 12/15/21).  Meetings are held from 9 am - 11 am.  Senate meetings are open to all University staff, and staff members are encouraged to attend.

The Office of the Staff Ombuds will offer support to staff members in resolving concerns and navigating university programs and resources. Facilitated by the U-M Ann Arbor ombuds program, the expanded service aligns with the university’s strategic goals to create a more fair, equitable and inclusive workplace. Campus currently has student ombuds and faculty ombuds programs, and this new staff program further expands the confidential service. Appointments will be held via Zoom or phone or, when requested, at the U-M Ann Arbor office. Questions? Visit the website or email StaffOmbuds@umich.edu.
