The Staff Council held its 25th annual spring meeting and awards breakfast on May 16.
Staff members who attended the event enjoyed a complimentary padfolio gift, breakfast from Fandangles, and expressions of gratitude for their service to campus from administrators, faculty, and fellow staff members. Many honorees were recognized for their service, including Jo Klingler, who was presented with the 2018 Staff Recognition Award.
Vicki Cantrell and Shearese Stapleton received a surprise visit on a recent January morning. Cantrell and Stapleton, who are both employed at Cummings Great Expectations Early Childhood Learning Center, were greeted at work by Melissa Richardson, a member of the University of Michigan-Flint Staff Council. Richardson gave them gifts and welcomed them to the university as staff members.
Staff Council started a welcoming committee in November 2017 to greet new staff to the university. Each month, two members of the council visit the newcomers where they work within UM-Flint. “We want to amplify their voices, and remind them to have a good time,” said Richardson, who met four newcomers in one day.
