Fall Into Success:
Learning, Leading, and Thriving Together
When was the last time you invested in yourself?
Higher education professionals spend much of their time supporting others—students, colleagues, teams, and institutions. Professional Development Week offers a chance to pause, step away from the day-to-day, and focus on your own growth.
From September 14–18, colleagues from across the University System of Maryland will come together for a week of learning, reflection, and practical skill-building designed to help you thrive in today's workplace.
Whether you're looking to strengthen your leadership skills, explore artificial intelligence, improve workplace effectiveness, support well-being, or advance your career, you'll find sessions that provide ideas and strategies you can use immediately.
Why Attend?
- Gain practical skills you can apply right away
- Connect with colleagues from across USM
- Explore new perspectives and innovative ideas
- Develop skills that support your personal and professional goals
- Invest in your own growth, well-being, and success
Featuring:
Keynote Panel: Learning, Leading, and Thriving Together
Join Dr. Bruce Jarrell and Dr. Valerie Sheares Ashby for a discussion on leadership, trust, change, and building successful workplaces in higher education.
Whether you attend one session or several, we hope you'll use this week as an opportunity to learn something new, gain a fresh perspective, and invest in yourself.
