Employee Engagement Groups

Salt Lake Community College fosters a culture of belonging and success by encouraging employee participation in both formal and informal engagement activities. Employee Engagement Groups provide employees the opportunity to participate in informal gatherings based upon their interests.

To encourage participation in Employee Engagement Groups, SLCC maintains a list of approved Employee Engagement Groups and contact information which can be found below.

Approved Employee Engagement Groups (a) have at least five current employees interested in participating, (b) are open to all SLCC employees, and (c) agree to adhere to SLCC’s employee conduct standards.

Employee Engagement Groups are able to access general facilities and resources on campus to hold meetings and events. These meetings and events are required to be held outside of standard work hours. In addition, approved Employee Engagement Groups will be invited to participate each semester in the President’s Employee Engagement Group Council to share insights and concerns regarding SLCC’s culture of belonging and success for employees and students.

Administrative Support Council (ASC)

Today’s administrative professionals need to be skilled in leadership, project management, technology and writing skills, along with advanced communication, critical thinking, budget and finance knowledge and work/life balance. The ASC is a community of SLCC administrative assistants and secretary III’s. New employees become members of the ASC on their first day of employment!

Queer Employee Association

The Purpose of the Queer Employee Association is to be a catalyst in transforming college culture by raising awareness, providing education, and advocating for Queer Employee populations.

Staff Senate

The purpose of the Staff Senate is to advocate on behalf of all full-time, and part-time Staff to promote the growth, development, and engagement of its members, to highlight staff accomplishments, and to work with all departments to create a welcoming environment while supporting the mission of the College and its strategic priorities. Staff Senate recognizes the remarkable contributions of our full-time and part-time staff through the Outstanding Staff Award given out at Employee Recognition Day each year. The Staff Senate's Staff Stars Recognition Program acknowledges the countless staff members who regularly advance the mission of the College by providing exceptional access and service to our students, staff, faculty, and community. The Staff Senate hosts several fun engagement opportunities throughout the year at the different SLCC sites, offering a great chance to for employees to meet and interact with each other. Staff Senate is always looking for staff to participate, either by elected executive board position or by volunteering to serve on a campus board, they encourage all to help the Staff Senate make SLCC the best place to work possible.
