Professional Development and Training Working Group
Professional Development and Advancement
Create a variety of professional development opportunities at all levels including:
Virtual and actual learning communities on campus for peer support and shared problem solving;
Brown bag lunches with colleagues from across the campus;
Informal gatherings that facilitate communication across departmental boundaries and among staff who would not otherwise come together;
Lists and a lending library of recommended books and readings;
A staff career counseling office in HR (this office could be involved with efforts for partner placement and could advise those interested in advancement).
Encourage and support:
Participation in regional conferences and workshops with peers from other institutions to share best practices and gain a broader understanding of higher education;
Opportunities to present at conferences;
Enrollment in courses, at Dartmouth or elsewhere;
Employee attendance at special events and lectures
