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.
