UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The University Staff Advisory Council (USAC) will host its spring 2026 virtual listening sessions this month, providing an opportunity for staff to be heard, share ideas and contribute to influencing real change across the University, all completely anonymously.
Staff are encouraged to participate in one of two upcoming listening sessions via Zoom:
- Thursday, April 23, 10-11 a.m.
- Wednesday, April 29, 2-3 p.m.
The agenda and format for each session will be the same, so staff need only attend one of the two sessions.
Advanced registration is required. The registration deadline has been extended to 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 21. The registration form includes a brief pre-session questionnaire for registrants to select a preferred session; reflect on guiding questions in advance to spark meaningful conversation during the sessions; and prepare for action-oriented the discussion that will help shape USAC's recommendations for University priorities.
Responses are fully anonymous. Zoom session details will be provided after registration completion, allowing participation without providing personal contact information.
These annual listening sessions are designed to transform staff feedback into actionable outcomes. Input gathered will help USAC advocate, influence and drive meaningful change across staff experience, DEIB initiatives, communication, workload and other University-wide priorities.
