Dear Fellow Staff,  

Welcome to summer! The campus is buzzing with excitement as camps are in full swing and prospective students are visiting the campus. 

Take this time for you and your family; I hope each of you can take a vacation or staycation. Remember to visit the HR and Library websites for employee benefits, such as discounts on theme parks and passes to SC State Parks.  

I am super proud of the caring campus that we have. In May, Staff Senate held its first golf tournament since 2009 to support the Employee Emergency Fund Endowment. Your Staff Senators worked tirelessly to coordinate the event and worked with many partners across campus. If you are able, please consider helping us care for others by donating to the Employee Emergency Fund or The Nook.  

Again, thank you for all that you do. We appreciate each one of you.  

We hope you can attend our next meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 12, 2025. Reminder: If you would like to ask a question, please request to speak during the open comment period by contacting our office or relaying your questions to your senators.   

As always, stay kind and care for yourself and other Tigers,  

Go Tigers!

Dear Fellow Staff,

Greetings! First, I would like to thank Jeff Anthony, your ’24-25 Staff Senate President, for his hard work and dedication to the Clemson staff this past year. Jeff’s commitment to Clemson has created a great foundation to start my term as your ‘25-26 Staff Senate President. Jeff was instrumental in advocating for the Staff, and I will continue to lead the same way. If you see Jeff around campus, thank him for his service.

Staff Senate is already hard at work; we are meeting with leadership, fundraising for the Employee Emergency Fund endowment, and recognition through service letters. 

It’s hard to believe we are at this academic year’s end. May is the perfect time to reflect on the past year; your fellow senators and I would like to thank each of you for your hard work and dedication to Clemson.

Let’s take a minute to talk about the impact that you had on students. Every role at Clemson touches lives; you are instrumental to the success of our students and the effect Clemson has on the State of South Carolina. As a staff member, your role is vital to the success of Clemson Elevate and Clemson University. It significantly impacts student success and experiences, and changes lives across the state. For that, we applaud you.

For many of us, summer is when we catch up on projects we overlooked throughout the year. Take this time to breathe; go out to lunch with a co-worker across campus ($5.00 Fridays, at the dining halls are a perfect time to catch up with friends.)

Again, thank you for all that you do. We appreciate each one of you.

We hope you can attend our next meeting scheduled for Thursday, May 8, 2025, 2:30-4:00 PM, Riggs, room 305. Reminder: If you would like to ask a question, please request to speak during the open comment period by contacting our office or relaying your questions to your senators.  

As always, stay kind and care for yourself and others, Tigers.

Take care of yourself, Tigers; you matter to us!

Go Tigers!

Dear Fellow Staff,

Greetings; I’m Stacey Miller, your Vice President for Staff Senate.

A new year is a time for renewal. Taking care of yourself is the greatest gift that you can give yourself. I recently had the opportunity to complete a workshop called “Struggle Well/Learning to Thrive.” This workshop was hosted by Dr. Anna Courie (Clemson’s Chief Well-being Officer) and Clemson’s Well-being Council. One takeaway from this training is that we all struggle, but it’s about struggling well. Did you know…One of Staff Senate’s missions is to advocate for your well-being in the workplace. My wish for you this new year is for you to invest in yourself, take a walk, breathe, or catch up with a co-worker over coffee.

We hope you can attend our next meeting scheduled for Thursday, February 13, 2025, 2:30-4:00 PM, Riggs, room 305. Reminder: If you would like to ask a question, please request to speak during the open comment period by contacting our office or relaying your questions to your senators.  

Giving back is the greatest gift that you can give yourself and others. There are a few opportunities to give back this month.

The battle of the Senate 2.0 will be held February 3-15, 2025. Please consider donating; all proceeds go to the Employee Emergency Fund, which supports your co-workers who may need additional kindness through financial assistance.

Staff Senate Blood Drive, scheduled for February 21, 2025.

Take care of yourself, Tigers; you matter to us!

Go Tigers!

Stacey Miller
Vice President 2024-2025
