Please mark your calendars for a new event coming soon! On Monday, October 10, the Public Affairs and Marketing Division and the Office of Human Resources will be co-hosting a professional development conference for Hope employees. The goal of this daylong event is to empower our colleagues with tools, skills and knowledge that will strengthen our collective efforts and also provide frequently requested information.
Like other professional development conferences, this event will feature a lineup of breakout sessions and general sessions on a selection of topics. (It also will include lunch!) The event will take place at the Haworth Center, making it easily accessible to employees. All are welcome, and participants may attend one, some or all sessions. We will be asking for you to RSVP so that we can plan accordingly.
Here are some of the topics being offered:
- Planning and Promoting Your Campus Event
- Tools to Simplify Social Media Management
- Storytelling: Avenues for Sharing Your Story
- Using inHope/Calendar
- Upping Your PowerPoint Game
- Your Handbook 101: What’s Changing?
- Retirement on the Horizon? What You Need to Know
- StrengthsFinder
- Wellness
Why during Fall Break? We planned the conference to occur when offices are a little quieter and staff may have more availability. Understandably, some individuals may be off campus that day. If you’re not able to join us, don’t fret — we are already thinking ahead to the next one!
In the spirit of community, we hope that this event will live into Strategic Plan Goal 4, Objective 3: Assess, address and promote a campus culture where each person can flourish. Supervisors, please encourage your staff to participate.
Watch for registration details coming soon. We look forward to a great conference with you!
