Conversations with Colleagues: February
February 2024 Topic: Finding your partners for change within your institution
The work of faculty and staff can feel either stacked with required meetings or isolated with solitary tasks. Some of the initiatives we tackle (e.g. equity) represent undoing generations of patterns and rewiring complex, systemic structures. It’s important and often exhausting work!
Connections with others sharing similar passions allow us to share resources, celebrate wins, and sustain energy for long term change. In this Conversations with Colleagues session, a team of four St. Cloud State University faculty and staff, all new to their current positions, describe how they met, their emerging connections, and examples of ways they have formally and informally started to partner in their work.
They also share relevant resources and methods related to identifying and fostering relationships with likeminded change agents in your institutions. They invite participants to share their experiences, questions, and conversations related to this topic.
Conversations with Colleagues is a platform for colleagues across Minnesota State to gather remotely to share ideas and bring questions (along with your lunch). These gatherings are held on the 4th Tuesday of every other month. Conversations with Colleagues is hosted by faculty and staff from the Minnesota State Educational Development Committee.
Join for an opportunity to engage in rich conversation in both small and large groups and networking with colleagues across the state! We have amazing innovations and work being done across the state and the goal of Conversations with Colleagues is to foster a network of support for faculty and staff across Minnesota State.
