The is taking sign-ups for a workshop titled Making Collaboration Work, to be held Wednesday, July 9, on the Sacramento campus, and Thursday, July 10, on the Davis campus.
“We work with partners, in groups and on teams with students from other disciplines, colleagues in other offices and professionals across the causeway,” the workshop flier states. “These collaborations can be richly rewarding — and also frustrating and time-consuming.”
The workshop is open to faculty and other academics, staff, and graduate students and undergraduate students.
Experienced mediator and teacher Carolyn Penny will lead the workshop, which she described as a highly interactive exploration of collaboration: what it is, ways to build trust and accountability, considerations when deciding whether to collaborate, and options to address common collaboration pitfalls.
“Learn from a mediator with over 25 years of experience, get to know university colleagues, and practice new skills as you enhance tools to collaborate effectively,” the flier states.
The workshop is free. Space is limited, however, and interested people are expected to register with a commitment to engage fully for the entire workshop.
- Wednesday, July 9 — 9 a.m.-noon, 3207 Education Building, Sacramento
- Thursday, July 10 — 1-4 p.m. , Meeting Room D, Student Community Center
