USC’s Staff Assembly is an officially-recognized branch of the university governance system and exists to promote the growth and welfare of staff employees. We research and provide recommendations on any and all matters related to staff work environment, benefits and policies. We also present Staff Appreciation Week.
We are comprised of approximately 60 members from both UPC and HSC, elected by university staff, and representing both exempt and non-exempt (non-union) employees.
