Current opportunities to represent staff

Joint Health and Safety Committees help promote a safe and healthy workplace by identifying hazards, reviewing health and safety concerns, participating in workplace inspections and investigations, and making recommendations to improve working conditions. Committee members represent employee perspectives, help address safety issues raised by workers, and work collaboratively with the University to support compliance with health and safety requirements.

One opening for any staff member at the Cambridge campus; applications due August 18

The Sustainable Transportation Advisory Committee (formerly the Parking Advisory Committee) will bring together employee and student representatives to review policies, provide feedback on programs and initiatives, identify emerging needs and barriers, and help shape recommendations related to parking, active transportation, transit, and other mobility solutions. The committee is scheduled to hold its first meeting in September 2026 and meet regularly thereafter.

One opening; applications due August 18.

We’re always looking for more members to represent staff on our Area Representatives Council. This group meets virtually September through June to share and hear updates on issues affecting staff. Feedback from Area Reps shapes UWSA priorities.
