VU PROFESSIONAL STAFF CONGRESS

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of the Vincennes University Congress for Professional Staff is to serve as the voice of the Professional Staff as it relates to the mission and philosophy of Vincennes University. Serving as an advisory body to the University President, its mission is to maintain an active and participatory line of communication with the university community. The Congress provides a forum through which University Professional Staff can make recommendations concerning university issues, activities, and policies.

Professional Staff Congress is comprised of 25 members who represent the four functional areas at Vincennes University (Financial, Instructional, Presidential, and Workforce). Congress members serves as liaisons between professional staff employees and university administration with the intent to enhance the overall working environment. Communication with campus constituents is absolutely necessary to serve as an effective advisory body. Anytime professional employees have concerns or suggestions related to the campus community, they are encouraged to contact their Professional Staff Congress representative.
