Fall 2016 Advancing Practice Sessions

Fall 2016 Advancing Practice Programs

Full workshop descriptions are available in the Learning Management System. You can enroll in these workshops through BLU.

Special Fall Theme: Handling Change, Disruption, Setback and the Unexpected with Grace, Poise and Dignity

This fall, the first half hour of all Advancing Practice sessions will be spent discussing strategies for helping you maintain your sanity, dignity and enthusiasm for working with students during intense periods of stress and change. We want our programs to do more than educate you, we want them to uplift and re-engage you.
