Good afternoon!
Thank you to all faculty and staff who registered for Friday’s Rise Professional Development Retreat. Below are three things to know to help support a successful event.
- Confirmation emails regarding your workshop assignments will be sent within the next 24 hours.
- A continental breakfast will be available from 8:30 to 9 a.m. in the PAC second-floor lobby prior to the start of the retreat’s programming. We greatly appreciate the U of I System Wellness Committee’s generosity for providing the financial support for this part of the retreat.
- Unit supervisors who would like to extend the conversation with their teams following the retreat can download a post-event discussion guide. This document will provide prompts to get your team members talking about what they learned during the retreat and how they’d like to implement some of the new ideas within their work areas. The guide will be available to download by Thursday evening on the Rise website. I strongly encourage you to block at least an hour following the retreat to connect and use this guide to start the process of turning ideas into action!
Please send any questions you may have about Friday’s retreat to Kelsea Gurski (kgurs2@uis.edu), co-chair of the retreat planning committee.
Have a great rest of your day,
Janet
