DEADLINE FOR STAFF COUNCIL NOMINATIONS JULY 21

Leadership is the driving force behind the University of Houston’s Staff Council. Now, the council is looking for a few new leaders to address issues facing the campus community.

Elections will be held in early August, and Staff Council is seeking nominations for candidates. The deadline for nominations is 5 p.m. July 21. Staff members may submit nomination forms to Karl Bernard, technical services specialist, in Room 419 of the Graduate School of Social Work or via fax at (713) 743-2743. Forms can be obtained on the Staff Council Web site, http://www.uh.edu/sc/.

Nominees must be full-time, benefits-eligible staff members who have been employed by UH for at least six months. Staff members also may nominate themselves.

If elected, staff members can offer input on such issues as raises and staff scholarships, as well as participate in events like Cougar First Impressions.

“This is a great time for a staff member to take an active involvement in Staff Council,” said Angie Shortt, Staff Council president and director of communications for the Cullen College of Engineering. “By nominating yourself or a colleague, you are investing time into a worthwhile organization that is making a direct impact on the quality of life for staff on this campus.
