Staff Council

The purpose of the Champlain College Staff Council is to advocate for the best interests of staff members; foster an environment of respect and fairness; and help build a sense of community by facilitating effective communication among staff, administration, faculty and students. This organization will provide representation in the larger College community, organize networking among staff members, and provide input to the process of planning professional development opportunities.

Power of E Peer To Peer Recognition Program: This program was established in 2010 as a way for staff to recognize other staff for the great work they do. Nominations can be submitted anytime by emailing e3@champlain.edu. Nominations are read at the monthly staff council meetings.
