Our mission
The mission of the Francis Marion Staff Advisory Committee is to foster open communication between staff and administrators and to ensure that staff suggestions and recommendations are made known to the President. The committee encourages open dialogue and comments on issues relevant to the successful operation of this institution.
Who we are
The Staff Advisory Committee is composed of representative staff members from throughout the campus. Representatives are appointed by the president and vice presidents.
The committee assists the president, administration, and Human Resources staff with staff activities such as the Annual Staff Luncheon and Benefits Day. The committee also partners with Faculty upon request to help facilitate staff involvement in campus activities that are offered to the students and the local community. In addition to assisting with staff activities, the committee sponsors a campus-wide Holiday Fund Campaign. The funds raised from the Campaign are used to assist two or more employees that are in need during the holiday season. Throughout the year, the Committee also administers emergency fund assistance to Staff members affected by home fires, flooding, and other emergency needs.
Who we help
From house fire victims, families in need of holiday assistance, staff experiencing hardships due to extended medical leave, to flood and hurricane victims. Unexpected tragedies can befall yourself or any of your colleagues, and the Staff Advisory Committee and the Holiday/Emergency Fund is there to help.
How can you help
Donations are accepted all year. Unexpected tragedies can strike any of us at any time. It is because of this reason that the FMU Staff Advisory Committee wishes to increase its resources, expand its reach, and be of greater help to FMU employees in need. With your monetary donations and support, we can continue to provide these services and continue to show that FMU is one of the greatest places to work because of people like you who are willing to help when needed.
