Understanding Our Strengths and Weaknesses in the Workplace
Oct. 17, 2 to 3:30 p.m., Room 16-18, Swanson Hall
Are there things you admire about one person's office ethics, yet other working styles that drive you crazy? This one-hour session will enable participants to identify their predominant decision-making style through an interactive "compass" activity where we learn to understand "how" and "why" we work the way we do. Is your department more about co-"blab"-orating or collaborating? No matter the role you play on campus or at home, this is a great way to learn to mine the diverse talents and expertise of your colleagues or family members to build a healthy, productive culture where all learning styles are honored and respected. Come and join the fun! Presenter: Laurie Robinson, Division of Continuing Education, Professional Development for Educators Program.

Safe Zone Ally Training Program
Oct. 16, 2 to 4 p.m., Room 10-12, Swanson Hall
The purpose of Safe Zone is to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on the UND campus, thereby making our campus a safer and freer environment for all members of our community regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Safe Zone prepares members of the campus community, primarily faculty and staff, to serve as resources on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) issues and also strives to educate the campus community about the Safe Zone program. The goal of the Safe Zone Ally Training Program is to provide a welcoming environment for LGBTQ persons by establishing an identifiable network of supportive persons who can provide support, information, and a safe place for the community within our campus. Presenters: Safe Zone committee members.
