On Behalf of the Staff Advisory Council at UNO, Welcome!

Welcome to the Staff Advisory Council at the University of Nebraska Omaha! We consider it both a privilege and a mission to advocate for staff interests on our campus, fostering a supportive environment within the Maverick family.

SAC was established in 1973 to promote and facilitate conversations between staff and senior leadership; study areas of concern to staff; and support staff in the shared governance at UNO. Forty elected representatives from various roles across campus make up SAC, so we are a great resource if you have a question and don’t know where to start.

You are welcome to attend our monthly meetings, held the second Tuesday of each month at 9 A.M. These are inclusive to everyone; both the Zoom link and room locations are on our homepage. In addition to information about our meetings, you can learn more about our current council, professional development funds, and upcoming SAC-sponsored events on this website.

I am honored to lead this dedicated team of professionals who are committed to enhancing the work environment and advocating for our staff at UNO. Staff Advisory Council serves as a vital link between staff and administration, fostering open communication and promoting initiatives that support the well-being and professional growth of all staff on campus.

SAC is passionate about making UNO a place where every staff member feels valued, heard, and empowered. Through collaboration, advocacy, and continuous improvements, we strive to create a positive and inclusive workplace for all.

Thank you for visiting SAC's page. I invite you to explore, get involved with us, and always reach out with any questions or suggestions. Together, we can make a difference.

Go Mavs!
