Elected Staff Advisory Council

Purpose

The fundamental purpose of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) Elected Staff Advisory Council (ESAC) is to facilitate communication among the staff of the VMBS, the VMBS Executive Committee, and the dean of the VMBS so that the voice of the staff can be heard to help make our college a great place to work.

The goal is to empower staff employees within the VMBS, enhance their work environment, provide staff leadership opportunities, and build a stronger sense of community.
