APSAC seeking new members

The Administrative and Professional Staff Advisory Committee is now accepting applications to fill 12 seats that will become vacant on May 31.

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

As indicated below, APSAC seeks one A/P staff member (unless noted otherwise) from each of the following areas to fill upcoming vacancies (for June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2021, unless otherwise noted) for the West Lafayette campus:

* College of Agriculture and Cooperative Extension Service, and School of Veterinary Medicine (2 positions).

* College of Education, College of Liberal Arts, and School of Management.

* College of Engineering and Purdue Polytechnic Institute.

* Office of the President and Areas Reporting Directly to the Provost, Board of Trustees, Vice President for Public Affairs, and WBAA (two 3-year positions and one 1-year position).

* College of Science.

* Intercollegiate Athletics (1-year position).

* Areas Reporting to the Vice President for Information Technology.

* Areas Reporting to the Vice President for Physical Facilities (1-year term).

* Areas Reporting to the Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships and Discovery Park.

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 application can be found at https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ehyDduuGV19Tl5z; deadline for application submission is March 2. Interviews will take place the week of March 12.
