The program is designed to help supervisors build leadership skills, invest in their employees, and advance their department. Each semester, five supervisors will be selected to begin this program. Approximately $300 in expenses for course materials and other items will be charged to the department. Supervisors are encouraged to discuss the cost with Division Heads/Area Leaders if funding is a barrier to participation.

If you are interested in participating in this program, please complete and submit the Supervisory Leadership Certificate Program Interest Form to your supervisor. Supervisors should review and complete their portion of the form, and forward to the Area Leader no later than August 15th. Forms will be forwarded to the Position Review Committee for consideration and decisions made on attendees will be communicated to employees and supervisors by early September.

If you applied for the program last year and were wait-listed, there is no need to resubmit an interest form. Your form will be considered by the Position Review Committee for this year’s program. If you are no longer interested in participating in the program, please notify HR by e-mailing hr@uwgb.edu.

If you have questions about the Supervisory Leadership Certificate Program, please feel free to contact Human Resources at hr@uwgb.edu  or (920) 465-2390.

Transgender Career Development Training

What does it mean to be “transgender”?  How is that the same or different than being “intersex”? Come to the Christie Theatre on Monday, Feb. 24, from 3:30-4:30 pm and learn about the transgender umbrella, how to include transgender students in the classroom and on campus, and how much it means to communicate to someone with their preferred pronoun. Each semester, many students are arriving to campuses who are transgender.

This career development program is co-sponsored by Human Resources, The American Intercultural Center and The Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning and will enhance your ability to be aware of what we can do on campus to increase a positive and safe environment for transgender students and employees.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) analyzes the heart’s electrical rhythm for abnormalities. When needed, and AED administers a shock, called defibrillation, to a person suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. The shock may help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm and can increase the chance of survival.
Every minute counts.Even the fastest ambulance response rates in the U.S. are not sufficient to give most Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims a fighting chance–unless an AED is readily available. Victims’ survival chances drop by 10% for every minute that passes, while an AED can increase survival chances from 5% to as high as 75%.
The University has recently added several AED’s providing for over 30 across the campus.  Come to this session and get informed about how to properly use an AED in an emergency situation.
