This webinar series invites you to accomplish your work in different ways:

Session I – with Colleagues (March 1, 2012 at 2:00pm - 3:00pm EST); and
Session II – with Students (March 8, 2012 at 2:00pm - 3:00pm EST)

All sessions will be experiential and engage you in provocative discussions around new ideas. You will be challenged to see from different perspectives, challenge your assumptions, and implement new procedures that increase efficiency, effectiveness, and collaboration.
