HISTORY
The Professional Staff Development Committee was created in 1988 by then
Vice President Dr. John Koldus to promote learning opportunities in which
Division of Student Affairs staff could participate as a whole. While programming
for Associate staff had been occurring since 1985, in 1996 the formal Associate
Staff Development Team was created to address the professional development
needs of support staff in the Division. These two entities merged in 2003
to form the current Staff Development Team.
