The Professional Development of all PSRP staff members is important to the college mission and to the staff at CETL. This PSRP retreat is geared to the professional development needs and goals of individual staff members.
Together with a volunteer Planning Team, the Professional Development Strategic Integration Council and CETL we created a half-day experience for all support staff at the college.
This year's session's include:
- Passion, Power and Purpose at Work
- Between a Rock and A Hard Place: How to Thrive in Tough Circumstances
- Healthy Hiking & GeoCaching
- Weight Management, Wellness, Nutrition
- Go Green, Recycling for Life
- Meditation/Relaxation
- Eating, Like your Grandma used to
- Integrative Medicine/Wellness
- Retirement Workshop
