Purpose & Goals

This body serves as a liaison between ODU's Administrative and Professional Faculty and the university administration to responsibly advocate for and represent the diverse needs of A/P Faculty.

Subcommittees

During its inaugural year, 2023-2024, the A/P Faculty Senate developed subcommittees to address needs of the A/P Faculty. Some subcommittees include members from the A/P Faculty who are not presently serving as Senators. Reach out if you would like to get involved. 

The engagement subcommittee will consider the types of social opportunities A/P Faculty want, recognition A/P Faculty receive, how to create a sense of belonging, and cross collaboration opportunities.
