Biographical/Historical Note

The UCF Staff Council is a strictly volunteer organization of university support personnel system (USPS) employees that was founded in 1971 with the first chairman Richard N. Neuhaus. The council serves to encourage and promote a spirit of unity and open communication between USPS employees and the university administration. It works with the administration to address the staff's concerns and interests.

Council members are elected to serve for two years, and five officers govern the council, president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and parliamentarian. Several committees facilitate the council's work, such as, Budget, Fund-raising, Marketing, Research, and Special Activities. The council organizes fund-raising activities and represents the staff on university committees, such as, Traffic and Parking, Employee Benefits, Safety, Diversity and Athletics.

Collection Scope and Content

This collection is arranged in two series, chronological files and chronological binders.

The UCF Staff Council Papers contain written records as well as a few audio records of the activities that the staff council has participated in. This collection gives an insight into the meetings, fund-raisers, correspondence, etc. that the staff council has handled since its beginning in 1971.
