Elections and Credentials Committee: There are currently 8 senate vacancies, due to various forms of separation. Because this is an election year, we will hold off on filling the 8 vacant seats until November when we hold general elections. All senate seats are up for either election or reelection. In addition, we hope to also elect our Staff Advocates, which are new positioned established in our revised Constitution and Bylaws. Elections will occur on November 16th.

Staff Morale Committee: On September 9^{th} we will have our cupcakes with kindness event in the Jordan building. Cupcakes will be delivered for all staff to enjoy.

Outreach Committee: The Bred Basket food & toiletry drive is currently ongoing. It is from August 15 to September 17th. Baskets are placed in ASB, Hathaway, and the Jordan building. To encourage a little healthy competition, the area that collects the most items will win a Pizza party. We currently have over 235 items collected.

Staff Relations Committee: The committee has also reached out to and are starting to work with Mr. Love in Career Services to offer resume building and interview training to current staff members who seek promotion and advancement at Kentucky State. This committee is working with Dr. Stratton to provide financial literacy sessions to help employees improve their finances and learn things such as budgeting, money management, the stock market trends, etc, Dr. Stratton will provide sessions twice a month via zoom. This committee is also giving all new hire (staff) employees a welcome gift after 90 days of employment. This was implemented on 7/1 so the first round of gifts will go out in October. Finally, this committee is working with HR to potentially open up jobs to internal candidates only first before releasing the jobs to the general public.
