Academic Professionals: We want to hear from you!

Our annual election to become a regular member of APAC takes place during the Spring semester.

For those APs who would like to learn more about the committee, who are interested in receiving updates about topics that are relevant to APs, and who would like to provide input on ideas, we invite you to become an AP Influencer. No commitment is required! Attending AP Influencer meetings is a great way to learn about the role of APAC and its representatives.
