Pathways Gala



On December 7, 2012, OLE hosted the inaugural Pathways Gala.  

The celebration of learning took place in our training room in University Terrace, which was decked out with luminaria-style Pathways bags and lanterns.   

We invited close to 60 people who completed at least one Pathways course in three or more Paths, either online or at a face-to-face workshop.  The event included some yummy appetizers, a Pathways-inspired activity to encourage mingling, and a short recognition ceremony.  
We were thrilled to present Certificates of Recognition to the following people who have completed courses:

One of the attendees has not only completed all of the content, but has submitted her assessment guides for all six Paths!    

We presented Sherron Becker with an HBC blanket and Pathways “patches” for each competency.

Finally, we introduced our Trail Guides program, for Pathways graduates who want to give back and continue their journey with Pathways.  It was a fantastic way to wind down the week and a great opportunity to get to know each other.

The purpose of Workplace Learning (WL) is to provide faculty and staff members with learning opportunities to enhance their skills and perform their work effectively. The Workplace Learning Workshops consist of courses and events that are open to all Support Staff, Faculty, and other Academics. Workplace Learning workshops are typically: short, free, diverse, tailored to U of A environment, and provide employees with the opportunity to network with other U of A Employees.

The sessions were well attended by a diverse group of 40 participants.   Quotes from the evaluations included: “It was nice to participate in a class offered by the University for staff.   Bill and Cynthia put "a face" to the fact that the University cares about me as a staff member, and wants to equip me to not just to know about generational challenges, but learn to engage all of those around me, not just those who are mo...
