A
Note from Staff Council President Karmen Swim
Wow...this is my last Staffline
letter. I hope it finds each of you relaxing after a
very busy academic year!
The Staff Council Committees are doing
some critical and essential work on behalf of the

excitement around our work.
To highlight a few recent "wins" for the
UVM non-represented staff: Staff Professional
Development Fund (first round of awards expected to take
place this September), Short-Term Disability Benefit for
Staff (you'll be able to enroll during this fall's Open
Enrollment Period), and the recently-announced Birthday
Holiday/Cultural Holiday for Non-Represented Staff -
effective 1/1/19). Continue reading...
