Rochester Institute of Technology

The Mission of the RIT Staff Council (RSC) is to provide the University with the perspective of staff on University issues; to serve as an advisory body to the President or his/her representative on issues and decisions which impact the RIT community; to initiate policy proposals and revisions and raise issues for University deliberation; and to review policy proposals, revisions, and issues raised by others for University deliberation.

Welcome to the RSC Web Site

Welcome! Staff Council is an advisory body to the President, or his/her representative, on issues and decisions which impact Rochester Institute of Technology. Our Staff Council Members communicate to staff about university news, events and initiatives and act as a conduit providing staff feedback and insights on university issues. Additionally, Staff Council initiates policy proposals and revisions, and raises issues for University consideration.

 
This site provides a wealth of information for the RIT community. It is our hope that you will join us at meetings, nominate a coworker for one of our awards, or offer suggestions for transforming RIT into the “Innovation University”. Most of all we want you to join your colleagues and get involved! All Staff Council meetings are open to all RIT community members.
 

Also, please help us share the news about staff success! We're always excited to help spread the word about RIT staff who receive awards - either internal or external - for their work at RIT.  If you or an RIT staff member you know has recently received recognition for his or her work, please email the Staff Council office at stafcoun@rit.edu to let us know so that we can share the news with the RIT community via the Staff Council blog.

  • Your Role in Student Retention
    Friday, April 12, 2013

    Over the years I have heard some staff members say that they wished they could play a bigger role in RIT’s retention efforts. I’m always surprised that many staff don’t acknowledge the role they play everyday just by fulfilling their basic job responsibilities. Whether it’s ensuring that a maintenance request is completed quickly and efficiently or offering a simple ‘thank you’ when a student is purchasing their lunch.

    Monday, April 1, 2013

    Hello Everyone!

     

    This year, Dr. Destler charged the Student Success Steering Committee with looking into the Student Leave of Absence (LOA) Policy with the intention of ensuring that the implementation of the policy still supports student success and also counts them correctly based on new counting methods. This policy is very important to the success of our students and their progression in their degrees, and there are real consequences to taking an LOA for the student and RIT.

    Would it help if you could learn some signs to communicate more easily with our deaf and hard of hearing students and colleagues?  Did you know that the entire RIT community has access to an ASL/English sign language video dictionary?
