Featured Committee: Peer Advocacy

The Peer Advocacy Committee connects P&S employees with the services and resources available to them to enhance their work experience at ISU. We are here to help keep employees informed and to proactively help with difficult situations before they occur, and to ensure that employees are aware of the various processes available to resolve issues.


 We have restructured our committee to be more proactive and informative as well as continue to assist employees experiencing difficult situations. Working at Iowa State University can be an exciting experience; however, it can be difficult to find all the resources available when needed. 

 

Jessica Bell is the chair of the committee. She has served on P&S Council for a year and a half. Jessica is an Administrative Specialist I in Natural Resource Ecology & Management. Other committee members include Ben Green, IT Services University Info Systems; Jeffrey Miller, Campus Dining Services; and Magann Orth, IT Services Administrative Services.
