Staff are invited to participate in an Enneagram Workshop this Summer beginning tomorrow! The workshop will engage with the book The Road Back to You by Ian Cron and Suzanne Stabile, with additional thoughts and material presented and discussed throughout. We will meet in the Library Packer Forum from 11:30am to 1:00pm (bring your own lunch) every other week for five total sessions (5/19, 6/2, 6/16, 6/30, and 6/14). Whether you are already Enneagram informed or have never heard of it, this is a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and the people around you. You can sign up at this link to let us know you’re coming.

Each year during Pre-Session, we present awards to two outstanding staff members. Please submit your nominations for this honor by filling out this form. The Senior Leadership Team will select the honorees from nominations submitted by faculty and staff. The deadline to submit nominations is Monday, June 29.
