University of South Florida Staff Senate
The Staff (USPS) Senate was formed in the 1970’s as a way to enhance communication between USF Staff and the University President. We serve as an advisory body to the President and other university officers on issues pertaining to USF Staff and the working environment at USF. Our group represents all departments on all campuses.
