As we individually and collectively move through these times, we wanted to share some highlights from our Workplace Learning, OD & Wellness schedule. We hope that these resources will help you cope with these times, increase your resilience, and navigate your new normal. We appreciate your sharing these opportunities with colleagues in your departments and encouraging attendance.
Please register for workshops and events at our myUMBC Training Group.
A couple workshops and webinars to highlight...
If you tend to eat meals alone and are looking for ways to make nutrient-packed dishes, join us for our Wellness Wednesday: Eating for One session online. We are offering the session on May 20th and June 10th.
Join us for a Meditation in Nature online session where we combine mindfulness meditation, sensory awareness activities, and the reflective practice of journaling in nature on May 15th.
Interested in connecting with colleagues and learning best practices related to remote work? If so, please join us for two separate sessions for supervisors and employees, respectively: Engaging Remote Employees: Supervisor Strategies for Success on May 12th and Working While Remote: Strategies for Balance and Success on May 19th. Additional sessions for each are available in the training group.
Looking to start the week off with a practice that will relax your mind, reduce stress, and increase calm? Join Jalisa Monroe for our Moving with the Breath 5 Week Series starting on June 1st.
