Why Professional Development Day?
Take it from last year’s attendees!
I got some great takeaways/refreshers to spend the next few weeks to reflect and restructure my supervision style.
I got to see a lot of new faces and enjoyed the speakers. It also gave me ideas for professional development in my own area.
I heard a lot of positive feedback from colleagues about this year’s professional development day. The time carved out to focus on self – specifically around recharging, fighting burnout, and reigniting/refocusing – seemed to be greatly appreciated by many.
Call for session proposals open now
WashU is about relationships, and I am so thankful to be doing this important work with you.
Anna “Dr. G” Gonzalez,
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
