Meetings

The Staff Senate is one of the ways all salaried staff (University and Classified) and regular wage staff can participate in shared governance at Virginia Tech. The Senate is made up of elected representatives from each college and administrative area of the university.

The Senate normally meets on the third Thursday of each month. All non-faculty salaried and non-student wage staff are welcome to attend any meeting.
