Purdue Faculty Association (PFA)
The Purdue Faculty Association (PFA) was originally created in 2005 by a group of junior faculty members as a way to provide opportunities for incoming and existing faculty to socialize and foster friendships and connections across the Purdue community.
With the generous support of the Office of the Provost, PFA organizes events throughout the academic year, which enable faculty of all ranks, designations and ages from across campus to meet each other and experience Greater Lafayette. Planned events include Happy Hours on and off campus, on-campus lunches and other special events.
All faculty are members of PFA, and are welcome to take part in its events. Guests are welcome, although some events will be limited to those 21 and older. If you are not receiving PFA’s emails and would like to, you can add yourself by visiting this website. You can also remove yourself from the listserv using the same link. If you would like more information on the Association, please email the leadership committee at purdueFA@purdue.edu.
Keep an eye on your email inboxes for pop-up happy hours throughout the semester!
