Supervising Today's Students (STS)
Reframing Collaboration By Harnessing The Strengths of Your Students
Course # 573
Advertising Description:
Often times we hire students to work with a well defined set of expectations that we have developed to help guide their work. These expectations may or may not compliment the day to day work that we do in our positions. However, our student employees are a treasure trove of untapped skills and abilities that, when harnessed, can help us in our own roles and advance the units in which we work as well. This session will focus in on how we can identify our own strengths, the strengths of our student employees, and how we can merge these opportunities into collaborations that benefit everyone involved.
