The Professional Administrative Staff Council (PASC) was established in 1986 to advise the University on matters relevant to its constituents and to participate in University governance.  It is the mission of the Council to advocate for and to provide a systematic means for professional staff to communicate with the various elements of the University community, as well as with other professional administrative staff. 

The purpose of the Professional Administrative Staff Council is:

  • to serve as the representative body for professional administrative employees of the University of Northern Colorado and to participate in such policy matters of the institution as may affect its constituents.
  • to function for the welfare of the University and for the employees it represents by proposing and undertaking education and service projects and actively participating in current developments and issues that are relevant to the professional administrative employees of the University.
  • to function as an advisory and policy referral body to the University administration and to the professional administrative employees of the University.

Employee of the Year

Each year the Professional Administrative Staff Council recognizes a professional staff member whose contributions to the University, his/her profession, and/or the community at large exemplify the qualities of an outstanding exempt administrative employee. Nominations are submitted to the Council each spring for final selection, and the recipient is honored at the annual professional administrative staff recognition banquet.

To Make a Nomination - nominations are due February 8

Any campus employee including faculty, classified staff, and/or professional administrative staff may make a nomination by completing a nomination form.

Nominations should include the accomplishments of the individual and his/her impact on students and/or staff, the University, and the community. Although an individual may have accomplishments in many areas, preference will be given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the University. Letters of support are encouraged.
