Division Committees
The Division of University Advancement has a number of committees that provide staff with an opportunity to engage in an activity outside of their position environment, synergize with other division staff members, and grow personally and professionally.
The committees will also serve the division as a whole by developing opportunities for division staff to engage in community service projects, professional development workshops, mentoring new employees, assisting with implementation of staff recognition, and planning and providing occasional social activities and events for staff and their families.
The Community Awareness and Volunteer Opportunities Committee looks for opportunities in the community wherein staff members may choose to volunteer services or participate accordingly.
