Staff Council

There are several ways you can support UT Dallas staff members and Staff Council.

Serve

Representative Positions

Benefits-eligible staff members who have worked for the University for six consecutive months may be nominated to serve on the council as a representative. Anyone may nominate a candidate, or candidates
may self-nominate. Campus districts elect representatives to serve two-year terms. Once elected, representatives:

  • Serve on one of four standing committees.
  • May be selected to serve on university-wide committees.
  • May run for the offices of president or vice president, which are elected annually by the council to
    serve one-year terms.

Learn more about opportunities to serve in the Staff Council Bylaws.

The goal of the Staff Council Scholarship Fund is to support staff members pursuing academic and vocational programs. Donate online, or consider participating in the following programs.
