Staff Resources
Mailing List
Staff Senate sends newsletters packed with relevant information for LMU staff, from noteworthy news and resources to events and updates on what Staff Senate is currently prioritizing. Although we do our best to make sure all staff are included in our mailings, updating the list is a manual process. If you aren't receiving our newsletters, or just want to make sure you're on the list, please use our newsletter sign up form.
