The Administrative & Professional Collaborative (APC) is the representative voice for the Administrative & Professional employees of FSCJ. In an effort to build cohesiveness, awareness and collegiality, each month we put a “spotlight” on one of our members.

Director of the Honors Program Hannah Sairam began in January and brings nearly five years of experience in academic advising and experiential learning, as well as Honors programming and pedagogy. She holds a master's in Higher Education & Student Affairs, as well as a bachelor’s degree in English and Women's Studies, both from the University of South Carolina (USC). Prior to joining FSCJ, Hannah worked with USC in international education, academic advising and the Honors College before moving to UNF, where she served as a First Year Advisor. Throughout her career in higher education, she has had the opportunity to support students' growth and development both within and beyond the classroom. 

In her new position, Hannah is able to combine each of these experiences in order to cultivate the holistic development of Honors students enrolled in the Associate in Arts (A.A.) program at each of FSCJ's campuses. As the director, Hannah collaborates with departments from academic and student affairs to plan course schedules, develop intentional programming opportunities and foster students' intellectual curiosity. She also works with the Office of Admissions and colleagues in K-12 and at UNF to recruit students to the program while ensuring a smooth transition process for students interested in transferring after completion of their A.A. 

Outside of work, Hannah enjoys spending time with her husband and two cats, reading and re-watching her favorite sitcoms (like The Good Place). She is an avid traveler, enjoys live music and is always looking for recommendations of new restaurants to try!

Our spotlight shines on each campus/center at least once a year. Nominations for the spotlight may be directed to your campus representative or any officer. Learn more about APC here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1024098564929654.
