The brand new HR Week is next week, May 8-12th! HR will offer over 10 different sessions on a variety of topics of interest to faculty and staff. We kick off this week on Monday, May 8th with a Virtual Meet & Greet, with two times available to fit your schedule: 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Please check out the HR Week web page for details on all of the sessions and how to register.

Retriever Talks 2023 will be held on May 17th in the Fine Arts Recital Hall. Doors open at 9:30am with the program beginning promptly at 10:00. We follow the event with a reception in the Recital Hall Lobby at 12:00pm. Our third cohort brings eight community-selected speakers to the stage to tell their own stories in Retriever Talks: Revealing Our Common Unity in CommUNITY. When an individual shares their story with the larger community, we can all experience what it means to make an impact. When we hear our organizational values reflected through diverse stories and lived experiences, we realize a sense of collective identity and belonging that is inclusive of multiple perspectives in ways that are powerful, palpable, and vital in promoting thriving workplace cultures. To learn more about this year's speakers, and to register for the event, check out the Retriever Talks 2023 web page.
