“We had 138 registrations for Virtual Learning Day on September 20. We are hoping to continue to engage employees throughout the fall semester with these additional learning opportunities,” said Celeste Spier, director of organizational development.
All sessions are open enrollment for staff and faculty. Several sessions are geared toward supervisors, but anyone is welcome to attend (supervisor or not).
