The officers of PPA aim to facilitate a fun and helpful group that attracts an array of individuals and ideas. We aim to add value to the PPEM student experience in a flexible and inclusive way.

Our faculty advisor is Dr. Cristina Rosa. PPA officers are elected annually in April. Check out the PPA Club Documents folder on the PPEM intranet for information on club policies, officer responsibilities, meeting minutes, and even how to edit your PPEM directory web page!
