Workshop Description:

OVERVIEW: The goal of the new advancement professionals’ workshop is to provide an interactive and dynamic learning environment for our participants. The workshop will be beneficial for professionals 1 – 3 years into their Advancement roles, as well as, professionals new to higher education and/or those transitioning within Advancement. The workshop was designed to allow for maximum communication and interaction between newcomers and veteran professionals.

The hope is that each participant leaves the session with a basic understanding of the fundamentals of each of the advancement functional areas (Alumni Relations/Communications/Advancement Services/Development), an understanding of how to navigate the higher education landscape, and with several new contacts he/she can call on in the future for assistance and resources.

ORGANIZATION OF THE WORKSHOP: The day will be split into functional and cross-functional aspects. As participants arrive, we will gather as a group to gain a general overview of the Advancement profession. That will be followed by lunch and more detailed discussions about ethics and career management. The plan is for each of our newcomers to meet other newcomers from varying disciplines and for them to have the opportunity to meet other more seasoned professionals as well.
