Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Fall 2007 APSAC Professional Development Grant recipients. The APSAC Professional Development grants are awarded to help cover the costs of professional development activities such as Professional educational activities, conferences, seminars, and Tuition assistance for academic classes (in addition to fee remission). Please join us in congratulating the recipients. The next grant application period will be February 2008.

After handshakes all-around, Board of Trustee Members Tim McGinley and John Hardin introduced Dr. Córdova and her husband Christian Foster.  Dr. Córdova spoke for a couple of minutes before asking us for our main concerns and issues.  APSAC and CSSAC representatives led discussions on campus staff morale, stresses caused by the OnePurdue project, Purdue’s role in stopping the Indiana Brain Drain, Purdue’s energy use and carbon footprint, our desire to meet regularly with her, the importance of fundraising, and the desire of APSAC and CSSAC to be a part of future campus-wide efforts.  We were all pleased with the meeting and were impressed with her desire for input from staff.
