Professional Enrichment Opportunities

As we conclude the fall semester, the Student Services professional development series continues this week and through the winter break. All employees are welcome to join us for any of these noon-time zoom presentations. To receive the zoom link for any session, please email Pam Rende (prende@monroecc.edu).

I.  CAREER COACH: AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO GUIDE STUDENTS

Please join us as Corinne Shanahan, Tracey Britton, and Denee Martin provide an overview of this excellent tool that helps guide students onto their career paths. This informative session will include a Q and A part.

Tuesday, December 15th Noon to 12:45 pm

II.  SPRING ENROLLMENT OVERVIEW

Members of the Admissions and Marketing staffs will present on spring enrollment current information, marketing strategies, and longer-term goals. Join us to find out how we can all play a role in student recruitment.

Thursday, December 17th Noon to 12:45 pm

III. PROJECT COMPLETE: USING THE WINTER BREAK TO ACCOMPLISH A PROFESSIONAL OR PERSONAL GOAL

Although the holiday season is often packed with family obligations, the winter break is also a period where major projects can be completed. Join us for a discussion on developing a personal strategy and plan to define, organize, and accomplish a professional or personal goal.

Monday, December 21st Noon to 12:45 pm

IV. ENGAGING AND MOTIVATING YOUR TEAMS: SUPERVISING BEST PRACTICES IN THE VIRTUAL AGE

Supervising staff and working with faculty is a critical role when the campus is fully functioning in-person, and it is even more important when nearly all employees are working from home. Join us for a panel of professional staff and academic leaders for this engaging conversation which will include tips on how to fully engage your teams during this virtual period. Since this session will be held over the winter break, we are going to expand the discussion to 90 minutes.

Wednesday, January 13th Noon to 1:30 pm

V.   ENSURING A HEALTHY SPRING SEMESTER

Since SUNY has announced there will not be any vacation breaks this spring semester, the college wants to ensure that our students, faculty, and staff still have a healthy and productive semester. This session will provide ideas generated by various departments on how to insert several wellness days throughout the semester. Join us for this interactive discussion.

Wednesday, January 20th Noon to 12:45 pm

VI.  THRIVING IN THE VIRTUAL AGE

While the promise of a vaccine will hopefully allow the college to return to face-to-face instruction and direct student service in the future, the impact of the pandemic period will remain. Join us for a discussion on current and future trends that could impact employment, and how one can be proactive and remain up-to-date in skills and perspective.

Thursday, January 21 Noon to 12:45 pm 

Thanks to everyone for a productive and successful fall semester. Enjoy the holiday season.
