Farewell and best wishes

October 17, 2023 / PSU-AAUP

After two years of service, Deborah Herman, our Executive Director of Organizing and Communications, has decided to step down for health reasons. During her time with us, Debby dedicated herself to growing our membership and ensuring that our members remained informed and engaged in the vital work of our union. Her tireless efforts and passion have left a lasting mark on our AAUP chapter. While we will miss her greatly, we support her decision to prioritize her health and well-being. Debby's last day with PSU-AAUP will be Friday, November 17.

We have convened a hiring committee, and will be reviewing applicants for a new Executive Director of Organizing and Communications over the coming weeks.
