Staff Senate is the campus governance group which represents and advocates for staff employees on the Fayetteville campus. Annually, the Staff Senate coordinates employee recognition programs such as Employee of the Quarter, the Outstanding Staff Team Award, the Part-Time Employee Award, and the annual Staff Appreciation Picnic. The Staff Senate also manages the Staff Scholarship program which awards scholarships for staff pursuing a degree at the University of Arkansas.

As the representative voice for staff on policy matters such as benefits, parking, campus safety, working conditions and compensation, the Senate functions as an advisory and policy-referral body to the administration and staff.
