Welcome to the Penn Professional Staff Assembly (PPSA) Homepage!

The mission of the PPSA is to support and focus staff engagement and collaboration within the University of Pennsylvania community and to act as a productive resource for all of our members.

The PPSA is a voluntary organization comprised of professional (monthly-exempt) staff members whose positions enhance, facilitate, and serve the teaching, research and service missions of the University of Pennsylvania.*

PPSA

1. provides a forum through which staff can engage in dialogue about issues facing the University and higher education;
2. participates and collaborates in University governance through University Council and other committees and task forces;
3. serves as an informational network to promote seminars and programs that enrich the quality of experience and work life for professional staff;
4. provides a supportive network to assist the University in achieving its goals and objectives.

* While the PPSA is pleased to provide information to all members of the University of Pennsylvania community, Post-Doctoral Fellows, Health System Employees, Adjunct and Associated Faculty, Graduate Students and many Research Professionals do not fall within the monthly-exempt category that defines full PPSA membership.
