The Senate has accomplished the following:

• Shared Governance Representation:
  

The Classified Senate is the appointing body for SJCC College  and District-wide Committees.  If you are a Chair or are looking to develop a workgroup, please contact the Senate's President.  

• Commencement:  
  

As of 2018, The Classified is included in the Commencement procession along with Faculty, Managers, Valedictorian, and Board members.

Classified Senate has a seat on stage along with other constituency groups (CSEA, 363, AFT6157, ASG, etc.).  

• Classified Professional vs. Staff:
  

Passed a resolution to ensure when individuals referred to Classified they address them as Classified Professionals or Classified rather than "Staff."

• Training opportunities:  
  

Training opportunities have been offered throughout the year.  June 2019, the College held the first professional development day tailored for Classified.  This is an adopted yearly practice that occurs in the Summer.  

Starting Fall 2019, the College approved for Classified Professionals to be released from regular duties once per month for two hours to participate in training opportunities.
