Meetings are held at 3:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month in the Student Congress Chambers, located in the lower level of the University Center. Participation as a Representative or an Alternate in the Council is very important. The Staff Advisory Council is an integral part of the policy making arm of the University.

Given recent tragedies at VT, NIU and elsewhere, I wanted to direct you to our BIT web site at
www.uta.edu/bit or this information can be seen on the VPSA web page.
Our team is available to do educational programs across campus and has done some to date. I would
appreciate it if you would share this web site with your staff/faculty colleagues so they are fully
informed of the team’s mission and purpose. Mike Knox and Doug Kuykendall chair this group with colleagues
from across the campus participating on the team.
Dr. Frank Lamas, Vice President for Student Affairs
