The Kent State University Staff Council (KSU-SC) provides a platform for classified and unclassified staff to share ideas, information, and communicate on issues and topics that affect staff and the broader university community. We represent the interest of classified and unclassified staff on all the KSU campuses by advocating on a variety of issues, proposing policy amendments, serving in an advisory role to the President of the University and the Board of Trustees, and facilitating other social and professional events. One of our cardinal roles is to augment the quality of work environment, promote understanding and a rich community spirit for all by facilitating open communications among campus constituencies as we strive to attain the University’s aspiration for excellence in higher education.
