Staff Senate

The LMU Staff Senate was founded in 1990 to represent all staff and their interests to university administration.

Mission Statement

In keeping with the mission of Loyola Marymount University, the Staff Senate exists to promote the professional and personal development of staff members, serve in an advisory capacity to the university leadership in the development, review, and dissemination of university policies, and to provide a forum for open communication and ongoing dialogue among the entire university community.
