At St. Edward’s University, we want everyone in our community — whether student, faculty or staff — to learn, teach, work and grow. Guided by our Holy Cross tradition, we endeavor to create an environment where all members of our university community can contribute their best efforts in pursuit of the university’s important mission and strategic goals.

Toward this end, Staff Council — with membership from all staff divisions — engages the broader community to review, develop and refine processes, programs and policies that will allow all employees to contribute to the university's mission and advance the university's efforts to become an employer of choice.

Staff Council works from three standing committees, with ad-hoc committees created as necessary:

• Communication
• Governance
• Staff Engagement

Staff Council's responsibilities and processes are spelled out in two documents:

• Staff Council Charter
• Staff Council Bylaws
