Professional Development Day 2020
April 16, 2020

Me, You, Us: Empowering Ourselves, Building Relationships, Co-Creating Our Community

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

How is community and culture created? Who gets to say? We are all part of the community and culture that is UMBC and that culture gets created first at the individual level. This year’s Professional Development Day on April 16th, 2020 focuses on how we grow ourselves individually, interpersonally, and collectively as a community.  In this conference style half-day program, we will build our culture from the inside out through the theme of Me, You, Us: Empowering Ourselves, Building Relationships, Co-Creating Our Community. Join us for a day of learning, development, and self-care. After just half a day you will leave with a variety of tools and approaches to make a positive impact in your professional and personal life.
