The University of Kentucky Staff Senate, as the democratically elected representatives of staff, upholds the values of integrity, shared governance, and partnerships across all areas of the University Community. We are dedicated to collaborative decision-making, ensuring every voice is heard and valued. In alignment with the university's’ vision of being ‘Many People; One Community,’ we strive to cultivate a community where every individual feels welcomed, regardless of their background or perspectives. Core to that purpose is the idea that we are many people, who together, comprise one special community. We are committed to creating a workplace where collaboration and shared purpose drives us forward; where the unique and varied voices of all staff contribute to the ongoing growth and success of our institution. By championing empathy, mutual respect and understanding we aim to ensure that everyone at the University of Kentucky has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to our collective mission of advancing the Commonwealth. We are your senators and encourage all staff members to reach out to us as needed.
