Providing Developmental Evaluation*
Many employees are terrified of evaluations and many managers dread the time-intensive process. However, these experiences do not have to be painful and can, in fact, be a time to affirm good work and set goals for years to come. This session will offer strategies for using evaluation meetings as developmental, supportive spaces of learning, discuss new approaches to employee development, and address the ways evaluations can be part of a host of equitable and inclusive workplace practices.
Success as 1st Gen Professional
The transition from student to professional can be difficult if you don’t already have a support network.

This session might be most beneficial for those recently switching from a student to staff opportunity in higher education or other industries.
