GENERAL MEETINGS
The DSA usually holds general meetings at least two times a year. These meetings serve as a communication link between the university and you. Staff will be notified of the meeting via email and calendar invitation at least three days prior to the date.
VOTING
Elections are held once per academic year, the first Monday of May, with a three business day voting window. Nominations shall be submitted to the Nominations Representative via email starting the first Monday of April. The DSA will reach out to staff to let them know when and how to submit nominations in advance of the May vote.
EVENTS
Additionally, DSA sponsors social events throughout the year, which in the past has included: Oktoberfest in the Pub, Spring Potlucks, Chili Cookoffs, and co-sponsoring the Staff Recognition Event to celebrate the accomplishments/contributions of staff. We encourage staff to reach out with any event ideas to [email protected] if there is something they would like to see in the future.
Always Available to Staff
- Drew Food Pantry: available for all Drew students, staff, and faculty to use for food and toiletries Tuesdays/Thursdays 3-6 PM. The pantry also accepts donations at the bin in front of the Pantry (1st fl Commons across from the bookstore) and has a list of requested items on their website.
- Special Collection at the Drew Archives: Departments interested in a personalized tour of the archives can reach out to Candace Reilly, Manager of Special Collections at the Drew Archives with some dates and times that work for your area.
