» W&M Strategic Plan -- PPFA's Input

Professionals and Professional Faculty Assembly

There are currently about 460 College of William and Mary employees designated as Professionals or Professional Faculty (PPF), generally requiring an advanced degree or equivalent specialized training and experience.* Professionals and professional faculty have unique policies and procedures, especially in personnel areas, that are different from those of instructional faculty and operational and hourly staff.

A 21-member elected PPF Assembly represents PPFs. Please see the menu items to the left for a list of Assembly members, meeting minutes, etc.

W&M Professionals and Professional Faculty,

Here’s some recent news about the Professionals and Professional Faculty Assembly (PPFA):

5. PPF Handbook: the PPFA’s PPF Handbook Committee, charged with pulling together all the policies that apply to W&M’s professionals and professional faculty, has completed the first stage of its project: identifying all the existing and anticipated policies and submitting that draft list to the Provost for his review. The next stage is producing a package of all of those policies and posting it to the web – we hope by August 1! This committee has done an excellent job in a short time, so please thank them! Here’s a list: Lisa Grimes, chair, Charles Center; Dot Osborne, School of Education and chair of the PPFA’s Policies & Administrative Issues Committee; Wayne Boy, Facilities; Kiersten Boyce, Legal Affairs; Steve Cole, Athletics; Elaine McBeth, Public Policy; Lynn Riggs, Human Resources; Wendy Webb-Robers, Career Center.
