Seeking Staff Representatives for LIFTSU Goal 3 Working Group: Recruitment and Retention of BIPOC Staff

The Staff Council and the Office of Diversity & Inclusion are seeking Seattle University staff members who are interested in serving as members on the LIFT SU Goal 3 working group focused on the Recruitment and Retention of BIPOC Staff. This is an opportunity for a broad range of staff, both exempt and non-exempt, to engage with the Reigniting Our Strategic Directions process. 

Members of the working group will contribute to the realization of the strategic vision of LIFT SU Goal 3 by offering a report and recommendations regarding staff recruitment and retention. Through LIFT SU, the aim is to grow the diversity of our staff and support their thriving. Working group members will be asked to attend regularly scheduled one-hour meetings every 2-3 weeks (largely, if not all, via zoom) and will be asked to do work outside the meetings as appropriate. The work required outside the regularly scheduled working group meeting times will vary and can be flexible.

If you are interested in representing staff voices on this working group, please nominate yourself via e-mail with a short 50-100 word bio, particularly on your interest or suitability. Nominations should be emailed to staffcouncil@seattleu.edu by noon on Wednesday, March 22.

The Staff Council will develop a list of potential staff representatives for the working group and send it to the Office of Diversity & Inclusion for final consideration; the final choices will not be made by Staff Council. The goal is to select one exempt and one non-exempt staff member.

With our best wishes,
Seattle University Staff Council
