As faculty and staff return to campus this fall, now is a great time to explore the professional development resources available through our Academic Impressions membership.

Two new printable flyers are available in the Customizable Marketing Kit to help employees get started with the resources available to them.

Resources for Staff

The Staff Orientation Flyer highlights four ways employees can begin exploring their membership:

• Five Paths to Leadership® assessment
• Sophia, an AI leadership coach
• Leadership Insights
• Certificate courses, including the Supervision Certificate Program and Customer Service Skills Certification Course

Resources for Faculty

The Faculty Orientation Flyer features the same core resources, including Five Paths, Sophia and Leadership Insights, along with on-demand courses designed around different faculty career stages, from mid-career transitions to professional well-being.

Employees can download both flyers from the Customizable Marketing Kit to learn more about the resources available through Academic Impressions and find opportunities that support their professional growth.
