Professional Development & Committee Updates

Coffee & Conversations Continue

On Friday morning, February 5th, over 25 RBS staff members took a break from their busy schedules and gathered via Zoom to discuss current events, COVID vaccine developments, recipes, homeschooling challenges, popular television series, and Super Bowl LV. The crowd was pretty much split between cheering for Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Working parents shared some of the frustrations they and their children are feeling over the frequent disruptions to their academic schedules, but they are hopeful that in-person teaching will resume soon… for the youngsters and for the Rutgers community. Tips for keeping salmon moist, cooking juicy Oklahoma sliders indoors, and the pros and cons of air fryers and Instapots kept everyone engaged.

Coffee & Conversation sessions are held on the first Friday of every month at 9AM. To join the March 5th session click here.

Professional Development Committee

Thank you to those staff members who participated in the recent Professional Development survey. The Professional Development Committee has reviewed the responses and taken your thoughtful requests into consideration as they develop program offerings for 2021.

The Professional Development Committee is putting the finishing touches on its popular 2021 Mini-MBA program, offering a comprehensive Career Development Program to all RBS staff members.

Based on valuable input from staff members, the Professional Development Committee will once again be offering Excel training, beginner, intermediate and advanced instruction. These workshops, too, will be recorded and housed in the RBS Professional Development repository, which is now under construction.
