Design Your Life Lab
There has never been a more compelling need for new work-life design than now! The global pandemic has changed everything – the way we work, learn, celebrate, work out, care for families, and play. Employees at every level struggle with blurred boundaries, isolation, and burnout. And many feel stuck, unable to progress in their jobs and careers, as everyone waits for things to go back to “normal."
Enhancing Your National Reputation
A key component to getting your professional work known, and being promoted in academia, is exhibiting a national reputation and unique contributions to your field. In this workshop, faculty who have successfully navigated this will demystify how you can achieve a national/international reputation in a particular niche.
We will be joined by a panel of faculty who have excelled at establishing their national reputation.
