Cultivating Collegial Spaces

*For Concordia Faculty and Staff only*

Relationships with colleagues are valuable and often a source of satisfaction and sense of connection in the academy. These relationships can further extend our impact and enhance departmental reputations and that of the university as a whole. Occasionally, these relationships are tested in minor and major ways with the potential for significant consequences both professionally and personally.

In this session we will engage in open dialogue with the intention of deepening skills to manage relationships specifically with colleagues. We will identify behaviours in the academic context, interpersonal and systemic, that are damaging to collegial spaces as well as some ways forward. Using scenarios, we will explore a range of approaches which contribute to a healthy work environment.

The deadline to register is Friday, September 27. Following the deadline and prior to the session participants will receive the location. Please note the session that you have registered for in your calendars. Session occurrence is dependent on registration numbers. There is limited capacity. Thank you for your interest.
