Kenyon Staff Council Subcommittees

Kenyon Staff Council has four subcommittees that meet regularly to discuss business as it relates to staff members and the general campus community. All Kenyon employees are eligible to serve on subcommittees with the exception of communications. If you are interested in joining a subcommittee, please contact a Staff Council member. 

Benefits and Policy

The benefits and policy subcommittee coordinates with the Office of Human Resources to gather feedback from and communicate with employees on benefits and employment policy.
