Staff Senate
The Penn State Mont Alto Staff Senate (MASS) was established in 2011 in order to provide the campus staff a mechanism for engaging in more active roles in the functions of the campus.
All staff (full-time, part-time, technical service, housing and food services, and exempt and non-exempt staff) are encouraged to participate as members of the Staff Senate. Mont Alto Staff Senate convenes once per month through most months of the year.
