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.
Note to Graduate Advisors – We are working with Graduate Division to offer specially tailored GSAO Advancing Practice sessions this spring. Stay tuned.
