Happy summer to all!

We have a jam packed newsletter to share with you all this month and look forward to you reading about all that is happening across Staff Council and the campus.  

In every newsletter, we ask a survey question. Many of you take the time to respond and submit feedback and we truly thank you for that. The feedback we receive from many of the surveys has a direct impact on the work we do and provides crucial input we then use when talking with leadership, setting our meeting agendas and planning our year. A wonderful example of this is reflected in the pharmacy plan changes to CVS that were put in place last July. Staff Council asked for your input on this change and if it was impacting you and if so, how.  As Staff Council met with campus leaders about the change, we were able to reference the direct feedback you all provided. We are proud to share that because of this feedback and input we were able to impact change and additional options for prescription services are now available at Costco and King Soopers. We asked what you would like to see Staff Council work on – and more appreciation events and staff gatherings were at the top of the list. We are excited to share that on Wednesday, May 22nd Staff Council will be hosting the first CU Family Movie Night. The event will be held on Sewall Field and will be free and open to all. You can read more details in the newsletter but hope you and your family can join us for some popcorn as we take in Disney’s Encanto.  

Lastly, Staff Council elections have taken place and we are excited to welcome all our new and returning representatives to service. Additionally, we share our congratulations to our newly elected officers – we have full confidence in their leadership and are excited to see where Staff Council goes next year. As we welcome new members to Staff Council, it inevitably means we must say farewell to others, we would like to thank the following council members who are departing Staff Council at the end of their term in June.  Your contributions have been appreciated: 

  • Omunu Abalu 
  • Nick Aniol 
  • Laura Clayton 
  • Esther Horowitz 
  • Shelby Javernick 
  • Devon Johnson 
  • Madison Lane 
  • Maggie Mucci 
  • Sarah Seibold 

Congratulations to the class of 2024! And to all those who are celebrating graduates this year. Please continue to provide your input and feedback to Staff Council. We are grateful for the opportunity to represent you, and we wish you all a wonderful summer. 

Best Regards,  

Esther
