Join an #NCLUDE Learning Group – Register Now
Organizational Development and Training invites you to join an #NCLUDE small learning group for the spring semester. Anyone interested in digging deeper together can review the #NCLUDE small learning group descriptions and join our community committed to informed self-reflection and everyday action. Each small group meets six times over the semester (either virtually or in person depending on the group) to talk candidly about the pursuit of inclusive excellence, community and belonging. Topics include building a resilient mental health, effective introverted leaders, mindful mentoring and many others.
