Skill-Building Workshops
Wednesday, March 19, 1:00 – 4:00 PM
On Wednesday, March 19 from 1:00 – 4:00 PM, we are offering three (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. Registration for the workshops has closed – onsite registration is not available.
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.
Fostering Inclusive Communication and
Managing Conflict
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.
Note: This workshop is four hours and will run from 1:00 – 5:00 PM.
