Connecting Staff. Supporting Community.
Staff Council is the voice of staff at CMU. Representatives are elected from every school and campus unit to ensure staff perspectives are part of the conversation. During their two-year terms, they collaborate with university leadership, share staff feedback and help shape meaningful initiatives that impact our community.
Our mission is to advocate for all CMU staff by listening to concerns, elevating ideas and working together to create a stronger, more inclusive university. Staff Council contributes to the vibrancy and well-being of the Carnegie Mellon community by promoting open communication, collaboration and continuous improvement.
Sustainability Committee Field Trip to Frick Park
This July the Staff Council Sustainability Committee toured the Frick Park Environmental Center.
The Frick Park Environmental Center provides families, students, and learners of all ages with a state-of-the-art space for hands-on, experiential environmental education.
Plan to visit next time you’re in the neighborhood!
The tour’s theme highlighted the Center’s Living Building Challenge certification provided by the International Living Future Institute.
The International Living Future Institute encourages sustainable, regenerative buildings that benefit people and the environment.
The Living Building Challenge is a performance based certification focused on seven petals of performance: energy, water, materials, site, equity, beauty, and health.
The Sustainability Committee listens attentively to the Frick Park Environmental Center Tour Guide sharing the Center's sustainability initiatives.
It's Summer Fun Time!
