Senators

The Basics

The Professional Staff Senate at the University at Buffalo exists to look out for the interests of all professional staff working within State, UB Foundation, and Research Foundation lines. The PSS actively participates in the policy decisions of the University and promotes individual professional development.

Senators to the Professional Staff Senate are elected for two-year terms by the staff in the university area they represent.

You do not need to be a senator to participate in Professional Staff Senate events, meetings, or committees.
