Connecting Staff. Supporting Community.
Staff Council is the voice of staff at CMU. Representatives are elected from every school and campus unit to ensure staff perspectives are part of the conversation. During their two-year terms, they collaborate with university leadership, share staff feedback and help shape meaningful initiatives that impact our community.
Our mission is to advocate for all CMU staff by listening to concerns, elevating ideas and working together to create a stronger, more inclusive university. Staff Council contributes to the vibrancy and well-being of the Carnegie Mellon community by promoting open communication, collaboration and continuous improvement.
