Course Calendar

Go GreenWelcome to our 'green' version of the Learning Opportunities Guide – the eLOG! The eLOG is one more way for us to reduce costs and conserve resources on behalf of the University. We're proud to still bring you our great courses, series and programs, but in a simple and earth-friendly format.

Dear Faculty and Staff: Welcome to the online Learning Opportunities Guide. Learning and professional development are core values within our organization, and University Human Resources encourages individuals to engage in their own development. The intended purpose of this Learning Opportunities Guide is to provide you with a list of courses that may be of interest to you, as well as registration deadlines, if applicable. Please spend some time reviewing the learning and development opportunities offered. We are committed to providing a culture of continuous learning and improvement, and hope this guide supports your goals. Please call Learning and Development at 335-2687 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Susan C. Buckley, Vice President for Human Resources
