Manager Forums

Main content start

Manager Forums are a way for you to gain insights from university and industry leaders, connect with other managers, learn more about the resources available to support you, give input to new or changing workplace programs, and share your learnings from approaches with your teams that had fantastic results—and approaches that didn’t work so well.

Format and participants: Live (no cost) sessions are held via Zoom. Manager Forum events are not recorded. Registering through STARS is required. Enrollment is limited to ensure breakout sessions are a size conducive to sharing. All people managers from across the university are invited to participate in Manager Forums.
