In Focus Sessions

Launched in late 2021, the In Focus Sessions started as monthly sessions for staff to learn more about featured topics, goals and achievements, new services being offered, key changes or projects that are underway in the Division of Administration. 

After collecting feedback, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administration launched sessions for the 2022-23 year that will include topics and areas both within and outside our division. We are embracing the opportunity to gather in person and will prioritize hosting behind the scenes tours and incorporate virtual sessions when appropriate. 

Please register below for the In Focus Sessions you plan to attend. When you register for a session, you will receive details including the meeting location or webinar link. We will use the registration process to estimate the size of in-person tours and will follow up if we need to make any adjustments. 

We will announce upcoming sessions as they are finalized through divisional newsletters, area leaders and on the website.
