We believe having a connectional community makes your ability to navigate professionally more seamless. We also believe we are made better as we interact and learn with and from those around us. It is with these beliefs in mind that Professional Development Circles were created.

Designed as small, organized groups of people leaders, Professional Development Circles draw together faculty and staff from all levels of the Institute for collaborative problem solving, encouragement, connection building, and leadership fluency. 

It is our intention to nurture and cultivate a growth mindset and build skill sets to aid in the successful management of other people. While we provide a set of curriculum guides to aid you in jump-starting your initial circle meetings, this is a self-directed learning opportunity. As such, participants have the freedom to create their own path for the experience, focusing on their specific learning and development needs.

Circles are now being formed. Please submit your interest to join by October 22, 2021.
