May 22, 2012, Volume 58, No. 34

On behalf of the Executive Board of the Penn Professional Staff Assembly, I’d like to thank you for your support this year and for helping us reach our goal of 1,000 members.  This year we were pleased to offer a diversified and full roster of workshops and events and each saw a high participation rate. Moving forward we will continue to bring topics that are of interest to our membership.

It is tradition to close out the year with a meeting and celebration. The Board is extending an invitation to attend this year’s wrap up meeting on May 24 from noon–1 p.m. in the Hall of Flags in Houston Hall. We will celebrate the close of a successful year and lay the groundwork for another one. We are pleased to announce Dr. Rebecca Bushnell, dean of the School of Arts & Sciences and professor of English, will be our speaker. She is an accomplished academician, author and speaker. She will discuss Understanding Academic Leadership at Penn.
