"How To" Workshops for Personal and Professional Development

How do you use social media tools to enhance your personal brand? Do you have what it takes to be an exceptional leader when faced with decisions that trigger your emotions? How do you write emails that get results from the people reading them? These hot topics are just a few examples from the Office of Student Life’s webinar series, which provides practical techniques designed to enhance your personal and professional development.

Director of Student Life Michael Lango explained why his office launched the Workshop series: “In addition to offering students enrichment opportunities through clubs and organizations, our office is focused on providing programs that support their career and educational goals. These workshops help students develop the skills to become more successful as students, employees, and individuals.”
