Webinar: How to be a Good Colleague
Date and Time: Wednesday, May 12, 2021 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm U.S. Eastern Time
 

Many of us have spent most if not all of this past year working remotely and away from our university campuses, departmental buildings, and actual office spaces. Our contact with colleagues has come in the form of scheduled meetings on Zoom, Teams, or WebEx. Some of our colleagues have been hired during the pandemic and have not met co-workers in person. With many institutions planning to return to in-person teaching in the fall, that means returning to in-person interactions at work. Are we prepared? Have we ever been properly prepared in How to Be a Good Colleague and why that matters? We all want to feel welcome, appreciated, and valued when we show up at work, and this session is designed to help all of us understand the value of being a good colleague to others. Instead of assuming that someone else is doing the work of shaping and maintaining the culture and practices of a healthy workplace, each of us can (and probably should) contribute to this shared resource. Panelists for this session have given considerable thought to issues of onboarding, collegiality, and how a healthy department is widely beneficial for students, staff, and faculty. The webinar was held and recorded on May 12, 2021.
