Professional Staff Senate

Why participate in the Senate? I serve on the Senate, because I believe that active participation in our governance is crucial in times of great change and transformation. ~Kat Schorr, 2010-2012 Senator
Why participate in the Senate? As a Student Success Advisor, I know that the Senate teaches me about additional resources that I can share with students. ~Janis Albright, 2010-2012 Senator
Why participate in the Senate? I am very interested in networking with other staff members as most of my work is on the Gorham campus. ~ Lee Anne Dodge, 2010-2012 Senator

"The Professional Staff Senate (hereafter known as ProSen) shall serve as a meaningful contributor to shared governance within the University of Southern Maine. ProSen shall serve as a vehicle for channeling the professional responsibilities of active and meaningful participation into the process of University governance. In that context, the ProSen complements the activities of the faculty, student, and classified staff senates."   - USM Professional Staff Senate By-Laws
