Happy Hours!

This semester, each of the TAUP Constituency Councils will be holding a happy hour event at a conveniently located venue.  It’s a great opportunity to get together with colleagues from across the University, ask questions about TAUP, meet the people who represent your constituency in the union, discuss issues that you’d like them to know about, or just have a nice time chatting with some very interesting people. Everyone in the TAUP bargaining unit is welcome, whether you’re a dues paying member or not, and the first drink is on us!

Volunteer for Phone Banking

 

Learn how to have efficient and effective organizing conversations with your colleagues, and then put that knowledge to work by making phone calls to faculty, academic staff, and librarians.
