Participation: The Classified Staff Senate is comprised of 16 classified staff members. Senators can be full or part-time, as long as they have worked for USM at least 6-months. Senators are elected to 2-year terms, with 8 senators being up for election each year.

Representation: The Senate is the voice of the classified staff and it’s our responsibility to bring the concerns of the classified staff to President Kalikow and her staff. We also assist by serving, and/or finding c-staff members to serve, on university committees where President Kalikow feels that input from the classified staff is important. We also serve on committees at the request of other university groups.
