This page is maintained by CSB and SJU ’s Joint Faculty Senate Family-friendly Policies and Practices Committee (FFPPC). FFPPC advocates for our communities on issues ranging from parental leave, access to lactation spaces, childcare, elder care, and other dependent concerns, work/life balance, and beyond. We conduct periodic surveys, communicate and collaborate with Human Resources and staff and faculty committees, and engage in conversations with members of the CSB and SJU community to find ways to make our campuses more inclusive, accessible, and family friendly! See more info in the Faculty Handbook, section 5.4.6.4.2.

Family Needs Related to COVID-19:

Per Academic Affairs, "For the most up-to-date information regarding anything related to COVID-19, please visit the COVID-19 Resources page.  There you can find links to forms, answers to questions, and the latest announcements."
