Skill-Building Workshops
Wednesday, March 19, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
On Wednesday, March 19 from 1:00 – 4:00 PM, we are offering four (optional) skill-building workshops for attendees. These workshops offer dynamic learning environments where participants actively engage in hands-on activities, guided exercises, and collaborative discussions to enhance personal and professional pursuits.
Ranging from technical proficiencies to soft skills development, these sessions cater to a diverse audience seeking to expand their expertise and adaptability. Facilitated by experienced instructors or subject matter experts, skill-building workshops not only provide valuable insights and strategies but also create a supportive space for participants to learn from each other’s experiences. Registrants can add a workshop to their registration for an additional fee.
Communicating Insights through Academic Data Storytelling and Visualization
This interactive professional development workshop will provide participants with guided opportunities to glean insight from institutional data, develop a story arc using institutional data, select and design appropriate and meaningful data visualizations, and craft and deliver clear, impactful data-driven communication.
Inclusive Communication and
Conflict Management
How do we have difficult, yet respectful (and even productive!), conversations with people who hold different views than ours, especially when discussing topics of great importance? The workshop, facilitated by the National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC), will teach participants practical principles to constructively navigate differences and prepare them to manage situations of conflict with confidence, both now and in the future, through observation, practice, and use of realistic scenarios.
Teaching in the Age of AI:
Practical Skills for Higher Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of higher education, presenting both opportunities and challenges for faculty and staff in academic public health. This interactive skill-building workshop, led by C. Edward Watson, PhD, vice president for digital innovation, American Association of Colleges and Universities and author, Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning, will equip participants with actionable insights and strategies to integrate AI effectively in the classroom and explore how AI can be used as a tool to enhance learner-centered teaching and learning.
Equipping the Future Workforce:
Integrating Infection Prevention and Control into Curriculum and Practice
In the post-pandemic landscape, preparing public health students with robust infection prevention and control (IPC) skills is more crucial than ever. Yet, despite increasing demand for IPC knowledge, many public health curricula still lack comprehensive IPC content. This interactive workshop will explore building essential cross-sector relationships between public health and entities such as hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and social service organizations for the purpose of improving IPC academic content and its applicability in public health practice.
This workshop is sponsored by the National Network of Public Health Institutes allowing us to reduce the registration
fee to $75.
