APSAC seeking new members

The Administrative and Professional Staff Advisory Committee is now accepting applications to fill nine seats that will become vacant in May.

Twenty-five members serve on APSAC and represent administrative and professional staff from all segments of the Purdue campus community, including regional campuses.

APSAC is encouraging A/P staff within the following units to apply:

College of Agriculture and Cooperative Extension Service, and School of Veterinary Medicine (one seat, three-year term).

College of Education, College of Liberal Arts, and School of Management (one seat, one-year term).

College of Engineering and Purdue Polytechnic Institute (one seat, three-year term).

Office of the President and Areas Reporting Directly to the Provost, Board of Trustees, Vice President for Public Affairs, and WBAA (three seats, three-year terms; and one seat, one-year term).

College of Pharmacy and College of Health and Human Sciences (one seat, three-year term).

Areas Reporting Directly to the Vice President for Information Technology (one seat, two-year term).

APSAC serves as a two-way conduit between A/P staff and the administration. As such, APSAC serves two distinct constituencies, each with the need to hear the other and to be heard by the other. In its role as a communication facilitator, APSAC offers A/P staff a mechanism to voice their interests and concerns as they relate to campus affairs. The following is expected of all APSAC members:

* Attend the full committee meeting the second Wednesday of each month, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
* Serve on an APSAC subcommittee (meet monthly, times and dates vary by subcommittee).
* Communicate appropriate information to A/P staff in their areas on a regular basis.

The deadline for application submission is March 3. Interviews will take place the week of March 13. For more information, contact Abby Hostetler, chair, APSAC Membership & Communications Subcommittee, at 765-494-4390 or alillpop@purdue.edu.
