APAC Adds New Members

EACH YEAR the Academic Professional Advisory Committee (APAC) holds an election to fill the available seats on the Committee. This year, five people submitted nominations for the eight open positions, and one person submitted a nomination to be AP Representative to the UIC Senate. As there was no competition for these positions, the nominees are empowered to hold the seats they sought. APAC congratulates the newest members and thanks them for their willingness to serve on this increasingly active committee.

MEMBERS TAKING seats for the term running May 2012 through April 2015 are

Ahlam Al-Kodmany, Director, Financial Operations, Institute for Health Research and Policy; Kathleen M. Engstrom, Assistant to the Head, Department of Physiology and Biophysics: Michael Moss (returning member), Assistant Director, Cost and Analysis, Office of Business and Financial Services Grants and Contracts; Tonia Nikopoulos, Assistant Dean, Liberal Arts and Sciences Administration; and Colleen Piersen, Assistant Head for Administration, Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy.

APAC REPRESENTATIVE to the University Senate (returning) is Jacqueline Berger, Director of Communications, Office of the Vice Chancellor for research, also serving May 2012 through April 2015.
