Our Committees
About Committees at UCCS
Volunteer committees are the backbone of the Staff Council and make a positive impact across the university – and beyond.
Committees consist of members, chairs and co-chairs. UCCS staff members can apply at any time to serve on a committee in one of those three roles.
Interested in joining a committee? Reach out to the chair or co-chair of the committee, listed below.
Interested in chairing a committee or have an idea for a new committee? Reach out to us via email at staff.council@uccs.edu
