Membership

Who Are Professional Staff?

All professional staff are automatically members of PSO. Although the more than 6,800 Professional Staff at the University of Washington are all grouped in one classification of university personnel, our roles are as varied as the activities of the university. Among our ranks are:

  • advisers counseling students
  • research scientists running labs and experiments
  • fiscal and human resources personnel keeping the university in compliance with federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations
  • and facilities managers maintaining the university’s buildings.
