Each year, the Professional Development and Enrichment Subcommittee of the P&A Senate develops and hosts a series of Seminar Series events which support professional development for P&A staff. Past presentations have focused on developing a personal brand, supporting student mental health, and increasing work satisfaction. While developed with P&A employees in mind, these events are open to everyone in person and via a video connection. The presentations and materials are archived below.
