Professional Staff serve in positions that link academic and administrative services for students. Professional Staff also represent almost 20% of the total workforce in higher education. Oftentimes, faculty concerns take the spotlight, but they are not the only concerns that our union addresses. The officers of SFT 2275 also represent the interests of our amazing Professional Staff. We are here to serve our members, not only because we care about you, but also because we want to make sure you feel supported.

My role is to help our members with concerns about the terms and conditions of their work, but I also want to assist you in achieving your professional goals at Stockton. As your Vice President of Professional Staff, I will be hosting Union workshops on the topics that staff tend to have the most questions, such as structural reclassifications, performance based promotion, use of alternative time, and advocacy skills to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns that you may have.
