President's Address

Greetings All,

Welcome to the Staff Senate website! I’m honored to serve as President of the Staff Senate and to represent such a dedicated and talented community of professionals.

Our staff members are the backbone of this institution. Every day, across every department and division, your work supports the success of our students, faculty, and operations. The Staff Senate exists to ensure that your voices are heard, your contributions are recognized, and your concerns are addressed.

Our mission is rooted in advocacy, collaboration, and communication. We will work closely with university leadership to bring forward staff perspectives and to strengthen the sense of community that makes this institution a great place to work and grow.

Whether you’re looking to get involved, share feedback, or learn more about the work we’re doing, I encourage you to explore our site. Here, you’ll find meeting minutes, upcoming events, committee opportunities, and resources designed to support you in your role.

This year, we are focused on getting the Staff Senate up and running. Your input and participation are essential to this work.

Thank you for all that you do. It’s a privilege to serve alongside you.

Cheers and Geaux Tigers!

Patty Oates

Staff Senate President
