What does the Staff Council do?
Members of the NESC (non-exempt staff council) serve all hourly employees at the University of St. Thomas. Some of our activities include: welcome back to campus event in the fall; office supply swap; staff appreciation breakfast in the spring; various outreach programs that provide donations to local charities; sponsorship of a study abroad scholarship for children of hourly staff members; and more. We want to do all we can to be sure that all hourly staff members are aware of the benefits available to you by virtue of working at St. Thomas and we work to promote clear and open communcation between staff and administration.
What are some of the perks of being a staff member at St. Thomas?
There are many advantages of working at St. Thomas and they are listed on in the recent 2013 Benefits Handbook - included are descriptions of these great perks and many others:
Credit Union on Campus - 209 Loras Hall
Convenience Store in Student Center
Service Center for your printing needs: invitations, stationery, posters, etc.
Post Office in Murray Herrick basement
Bonus of 10% when you put money into your Express Account at the Card Office. For example: put $100.00 onto your card - you are credited with $110.00!
Discounted Meals at the View and the Binz when you put money into your Express account - you can just use your ID at so many lcoations!
. . . and much more. Please be sure to read through pages 42 and 43 of your 2013 Benefits Guide. Don't hesitate to call if you have any questions!
I heard I can get discounted meals at the View and Binz - how does that work?
If you purchase a meal plan at the Card Office you will get ten meals at the View or the Binz for the cost of $67.50 ($6.75 per meal.) There is no expiration date.
Currently meal prices without the Meal Plan are: $7.75 for Breakfast; $8.75 for Lunch; $9.00 for dinner.
This perk provides a nice savings, fun food choices, and the only restrictions to keep in mind are: 1) this benefit is for UST faculty and staff only, and 2) must be paid for with cash or personal check.
