Support Staff Senate (from Mary Ann Baker)
The University Support Staff Senate is working on a brochure to highlight the USS service to the University community. We're going to include "action" photos with very brief descriptions of what action is taking place. For example, we might have a photo & description of a groundskeeper tending a bed of tulips, a technician fixing a computer, a mechanic working in the metal shop, a caretaker feeding some research animals, etc. It would be great if we could include a photo of one of us doing some library work. It could be any kind of library work. We're not going to be identifying the folks in the pics.

Let me know if you'd be interested in posing for such a photo or if you have any questions. The "photo shoot" wouldn't take long and would be scheduled to your convenience.
