The Professional Staff Council is a standing committee of the College Senate.


For over forty years, the Professional Staff of Purchase College, have organized as a formal body to allow for the meaningful association to:

  • Participate in the governance of the College; actively influence the decision-making process of the College, both for immediate and long-range issues.
  • Provide a forum for discussion of common areas of concern among professional staff employees.
  • Provide opportunities for personal and professional growth and development.
  • Collaborate with the professionals’ unions, human resources, and faculty on common interests.

All professional staff are welcome to attend our Professional Staff Council meetings, participate as members of standing and ad hoc committees, and join us for sponsored events.
