Staff Advice & Implementation Committee

The School of Engineering Staff Advice & Implementation Committee (SAIC) is open to include any employee within SoE who is willing to volunteer, promote a diversity of views, and who is passionate works towards addressing issues of concern for SoE Administrative and Support Staff. The SAIC advises the Dean of Engineering on best practices related to the advancement of staff engagement and professional development opportunities for all staff members across the School of Engineering. The SAIC is organized into three working committees, plus a steering group composed of the leaders of the three committees. In addition to the chairs of the three working committees, leadership from the SoE Dean’s Office also serves on the SAIC steering committee. The three committees are: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Professional Development, Social Events and Wellness.
