Professional Development

The Student Affairs Professional Development Committee coordinates efforts to provide professional development opportunities to all division employees, with a focus on critical and trending issues in our field. Throughout the year, the Committee offers different professional development opportunities, ranging from webinars, article discussions, an assessment lunch-and-learn series, and the annual Hot Topics Conference.

In addition, UNCG HR offers professional development courses that are free to employees unless otherwise stated. We encourage you to invest in yourself and others so that we can more easily create a positive effect and help to retain the best and brightest while also transforming the lives of our students, faculty, staff, and communities we serve.

The Student Affairs Professional Development Committee members are:

Chris Gregory, Chair, Military-Affiliated Services
