* Staff Appreciation and Professional Development
* These programs have developed tremendously and have provided many opportunities for employees.
* Supervisor Training
What can be approved upon?
Providing a general survey to new employees
Reviewing on how to make this available to any staff interested in a supervisor position
* Communication is ever improving with UAF Staff Council taking a proactive role
* How do we, as a campus, become more safety minded? UAF is looking to do more than just meet the OSHA standards. Anyone who has ideas or concerns about safety or how to help UAF become safety minded contact Dan White as he is the chair of the ADHOC Safety Committee.
* Cost effectiveness – worker claims
* Educational – desire to have students leave UAF with safety as an automatic awareness. Example: On the North Slope, safety is the main concern and that is why they are able to have long periods of no loss time.
* Safety of employees
The University of Alaska regents believe that “the opportunity for faculty, staff and students to participate in the governance of the university is important to its effective operation.” UAF Staff Council is your “opportunity” to participate in governance and contribute to the future of our university.

Sean McGee - UAF Police Chief
Chief McGee and the UAF Police Dept are working on several mechanisms to make UAF as safe as possible. Although it is the departments mission to protect and serve they are also concentrating on non-traditional roles such as:
- Education - how to be more aware of your surroundings.
- Training - what to do in emergency situations
- Presentations - why do you need the above two items
- Crime Prevention Services - come to your area to provide tips to make your area safer
- Survival Tactics - what do you do if there is a shooting
They are also working on establishing a "Building Safety Coordinator". This person would be responsible for notifying the occupants of that building of any emergency situation. Although there will be one coordinator, this will be a team effort as some buildings have multiple floors.
Chief McGee stated that there are quite a few mechanisms in place to address issues. Their concern and issue they are trying to address at this point is getting this information out to the UAF community so we are aware of what the mechanisms are and what we need to do.
