Voices of the Staff

Voices of the Staff (Voices) is U-M’s employee engagement program. It's your opportunity to share ideas and define the campus community issues that matter most to you. 

Your Next Opportunity to Apply: March 1-31, 2027 

If selected, you join more than 130 staff members from across all campuses to meet monthly, serving on one of six topic-specific network teams. There is a seventh Voices team comprised of alumni of the program. New members begin their two- or three-year commitment in June at an all-day annual meeting.

Look for email announcements next year and add a reminder to your calendar!
