UNIVERSITY SUPPORT STAFF SENATE MEMBER PROFILES

 

 

Peggy Palmer, President, University Support Staff Senate
I recently received my 40-year service pin, recognizing my
career at KU which began in September 1971. My first
position was in the Office of the Registrar, a job I took after
high school. Seven years later I became the Office
Supervisor for KU Printing Services, a position I held for
almost 20 years.
I have worked in Strong Hall, the main administrative
building on campus, since 1999 when I began working as
the office manager for Student Success. For the past three
years I've worked with the Provost Business Services team
as the budget and personnel staff for the office.
I was elected as University Support Staff President and
began my two year term in May 2012. The USS Senate
represents the interests, values and insights of all University
Support Staff and communicates with the University of
Kansas administration, the Kansas legislature and others on
behalf of the University Support Staff.
