"More than just Business...Building Community within the Foster School of Business "

Hello! We are your Foster School of Business Staff Council. The Staff Council has changed its focus over the past few months, and we want to share these changes with you!

Who we are...

The following is a list of your current Staff Council Representatives:

Lewis Hall General -- Jenn Adrien
Bank of America Executive Education Center -- coming soon
Kirkland General -- Tina Bassir
External Relations -- Peggy Mann
MBA Program -- Tim Hossain
Academic Departments -- Shawna Reimers
Dean's Office -- coming soon
Mackenzie General -- Mary Ghajar
Undergraduate Programs Office -- coming soon

What we do...

You may be familiar with Staff Council because of the Annual Ice Cream Social, Weekly Coffee and Cookies, or the Recipe Book organized this past holiday season. We're here to tell you we are about more than just food -- well, sort of. You'll notice that a lot of our new community building initiatives revolve around food.

When originally organized, the purpose of Staff Council was noted as: 

"To provide an open forum for communication among the staff, Dean, administration and other members of the Business School Community in which common concerns can be identified, discussed and recommendations made for resolution."

The purpose of Staff Council has changed and broadened. The group will continue to be a voice for the Foster Staff, a forum for staff comments, ideas and suggestions, but Staff Council will now also be turning our energy towards building community among staff members.

Our mission is to advocate for staff within the administration and improve our School of Business community by organizing learning opportunities, social activities and community service.
