Since our Training & Development offerings are mainly face-to-face, we have had to suspend this program temporarily and hope to have new sessions available soon.
In 2008, ÁùºÏÍøÖ·´óÈ« began participating in Building Bridges Across Maryland, a unique training, networking and development program for support staff at area colleges and universities.
This program was created based on feedback from staff and supervisors that training was needed and that it can be difficult for people in these positions to get away from the job to attend. A cross-institutional program for support staff was developed - participation in the program is by invitation only and is limited to five individuals from each institution. Vice Presidents at institutions are to nominate five deserving individuals each year to participate and they will attend 6 sessions - 1 per month - over the course of the program.
Each participating institution hosts either a content session or the kickoff or graduation events. These schools include McDaniel College, Towson University, University of Maryland, Baltimore, and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. During our 12th year, we grew the program and welcomed 2 new institutions - Maryland University of Integrative Health, and University of Baltimore!
Interested in participating? Talk to your HR department!
This program is especially beneficial to newer/less experienced staff and/or those new to higher education
