The meeting agenda encompassed various topics aimed at enhancing the university experience for both students and staff members. It emphasized the importance of fostering a supportive family atmosphere, particularly within Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Furthermore, the role of the Staff Senate in advising administrative Vice Presidents and advocating for staff interests was underscored.

To ensure inclusivity, a roll call was conducted, acknowledging members by name. Discussions centered on improving staff experiences through enhanced onboarding processes, handbook updates, and workforce development initiatives. Additionally, plans were outlined to collaborate with the university president to revitalize old business practices and update the team's website and documentation.

The floor was opened for staff members to share suggestions and ideas on enhancing workflow efficiency and communication within the organization. Proposals ranged from organizing a farmers' market on campus to implementing comprehensive onboarding systems and workforce development initiatives, including vacation payout schemes.

Efforts to bolster staff morale and productivity were also discussed, with proposals for improved employee benefits such as emergency loans and a historical campus walk. A website redesign was proposed to facilitate better communication and feedback collection. Additionally, the Staff Senate considered leading an operational performance project in collaboration with Dr. Wicker.

Further initiatives included providing employees with free lunch and access to flex areas on their birthdays and facilitating email voting to streamline decision-making processes. Dr. Tamir Bowles' input on adjunct faculty involvement underscored the importance of collaboration between adjunct professors and staff members to effect positive cultural change and support adjuncts' professional development.

Future plans involve discussions on Staff Senate bylaws and adjunct faculty representation, as well as exploring virtual tour software for campus mapping. A cookbook to further engage staff and community members was proposed and volunteers to aid in the design.
