Is there a task force or working group focused on staff needs and interests?

The existing task forces address staff needs in numerous ways. Updates from these task forces will be communicated through the Integration Management Office (IMO), allowing timely and relevant updates to staff through established campus communication channels. This process ensures that staff needs and interests are consistently considered and addressed across various initiatives.

The Workforce Strategies Task Force launched in October 2025 to support our faculty and staff with a focus on current and future programs, offerings and related policies impacting our employees. Multiple working groups will be established with opportunities for stakeholder input, and Amy Tawney, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, will serve as the leader of Human Resources for our newly integrated university.
