What We Do

The Staff Council’s Development Committee is dedicated to advancing opportunities for University of Utah staff members through scholarships and professional development.

• Scholarships: In partnership with the Faculty Club, we established the first annual sponsored scholarship, providing $1,250 for a deserving staff member. We also oversee the Tom Loveridge Memorial Scholarship, which has supported numerous staff since 2012, offering two annual scholarships of $1,250 each.
• Professional Development Awards (PDA): We provide financial support for staff to enhance their skills and attend professional training. In 2024-25, PDA funding grew significantly, with 12 staff members receiving $500 each, all made possible through generous staff payroll contributions.
• Future Growth & Engagement: Our committee is committed to building more scholarship partnerships, expanding endowments, and increasing professional development funding. We also engage in staff appreciation events and continuously work to strengthen our programs for the University of Utah’s dedicated employees.

Join us in supporting the success and growth of our hardworking staff!
