College of Arts and Sciences Staff Council

The College of Arts & Sciences Staff Council is comprised of 12 staff members— three from each division of the college—with the goal of facilitating constructive information sharing and dialogue between the Dean’s Office and college staff. The CAS Staff Council meets once per quarter with Dean Harris to share ideas and think creatively together. Each member serves a one-year term.
