The NEW Human Resources Conference/ Training Room
by heather emerick, consultant, CLPD
The summer brought some exciting changes for Human Resources and the Center for Staff Learning & Professional Development. The most exciting change is the opening of the new Human Resources Conference/ Training Room on the fourth floor of the Brown Office Building. The room comfortably seats groups of up to fifteen participants and has a smartboard. For those of you who have seen the HR and CLPD staff lugging equipment across the campus, you'll realize that this is a welcome addition! The light, airy room is the perfect location for small group trainings, discussions and our popular book clubs. Sign up for one of our upcoming sessions and see our new space for yourself!
