all professional staff advisory Council

Who we are.

The All Professional Staff Advisory Council (APSAC) is a committee made up of administrative and professional staff of Purdue Fort Wayne. The council serves the university in the following ways:

  • Acts as formal communications link with the Chancellor to effectively present employee views, positions and interests
  • Acts as a consultative body for the Chancellor on matters of policy affecting the operation of the campus
  • Provides formal means of communication among administrators of the Fort Wayne campus
  • Advocates for APSAC members and their families, raising funds when appropriate

What to help us out? Consider making a contribution to APSAC through automatic payroll deductions. The council uses donations and money raised to fund scholarships for professional development grants, and even just $5 a month can make a huge difference.

For further information on how you can donate to APSAC, please contact the development office.
