On Tuesday, April 14, at 9 a.m., in the Schweiker Room, in Andruss Library, there will be an interactive workshop titled "How to Communicate Effectively with Your Student Employee", facilitated by Dr. William Harrar, Director of Counseling and Human Development. This workshop will help you fine tune/improve your communication skills to better handle those difficult student employee issues. Register by contacting Karen Hicks at khicks@bloomu.edu.
On Wednesday, April 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., all student workers and supervisors are invited for a free grilled hot dog on the patio in front of the Warren Student Services Center.
On Thursday, April 16, teams of student employees (and supervisors) can participate in the Third Annual Team Challenge from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Rec Center.
