Supervisors of Students ERG – Leadership & Challenging Assumptions

Wednesday, April 29, 12:00-1:00 p.m. – Moseley Center, McKinnon F

We invite you to join us for our April meeting, where we’ll explore an important leadership skill—recognizing and challenging the assumptions we make in our daily work, especially when collaborating with student employees. During this engaging session, we’ll participate in an interactive activity and discuss practical ways to cultivate curiosity when assumptions arise in our workplaces. Together, we’ll reflect on how shifting from assumption to curiosity can strengthen communication, leadership and teamwork. Lunch will be provided for registered attendees.
