Benefits Committee
The Benefits Committee works directly with the Director of the Benefits Division, sharing staff suggestions and proposals related to benefits policies and procedures, and responding to staff regarding these issues. The Co-Chairs of the Benefits Committee also work with HR, WELL (Well-being, Engagement, Learning & Leadership) to administer NU Cares.
Communications Committee
A key component of NUSAC’s mission involves exchanging information with staff on relevant issues. The Communications Committee is responsible for organizing and creating quarterly newsletters, updating the council’s website, and sending communications regarding the council’s initiatives. The Communications Committee aims to keep staff informed of opportunities available to them and of NUSAC’s contributions at the University.
Human Resources Committee
The Human Resources Committee works directly with the Office of Human Resources to discuss policies and procedures, provide feedback, and communicate staff concerns related to matters overseen by Human Resources. The Office of Human Resources, in turn, reports to the Committee on pending matters of staff interest and solicits input from NUSAC on Human Resource issues and related matters.
Outreach Committee
The Outreach Committee originated from the philanthropic goals of NUSAC Gives Back along with the desire to engage and collaborate with Northwestern University staff, faculty, and student organizations in accomplishing common goals. The Outreach Committee works to provide opportunities for staff to engage with the Chicago and Evanston communities by partnering with organizations to host drives and service opportunities to support various community needs.
