We are so excited to start off a new tradition of having Classified centered skills building professional learning opportunities created by Classified, for Classified to kick off the new year! The morning will be a great chance to start us off right with a welcome session for our new hires and promotions, a little knowledge share on participatory governance and senate representation, as well as connection with bargaining unit leaders. We're also really excited to share our revival of the Classified Mentorship Cohort and our goals to launch a One Book Initiative to invest in classified growth.
Additional events will occur throughout the day, including professional learning workshops for understanding online requisition processes, an intro to artificial intelligence in education, and practical knowledge in your workspaces, a gathering time to share institutional knowledge with some of our campus culture veterans, and more!
Please register to help us plan accordingly for light snacks-- we appreciate it so much but is not required.
