PASE Board of Directors

What is the PASE Board of Directors?

The PASE Board of Directors is made up of student members of PASE. They provide leadership for PASE by planning and executing programs, choosing the annual kit design, representing the Purdue for Life Foundation at events, and educating the Purdue student body about the Purdue for Life Foundation and how to stay involved after you graduate.

Students interested in serving on the board may apply in November of each year. It is a great leadership opportunity and members will more frequently interact with successful alumni and corporate sponsors. and gain valuable leadership experiences. Members of the board should expect to gain skills in organizational teamwork, verbal and written communication, idea generation, initiative and follow through, relationship building, collaboration, and decision making and problem solving.
