Department of Family Studies and Community Development
Workshops and Conferences
Providing a rigorous education grounded in the liberal arts and opportunities for community involvement through service learning and civic engagement are cornerstones of the mission of the Department of Family Studies and Community Development. In support of this mission, the community involvement arm of the department either sponsors or co-sponsors three annual community outreach workshops: a Disability Awareness Workshop, a Supervisor Training Workshop, and, in conjunction with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a workshop on relevant issues for families living with childhood cancer.
Disability Awareness Workshop
This workshop is held each October. In 2008, approximately 140 undergraduate students, faculty and community professionals attended. The session is student developed and implemented in an attempt to raise student awareness and understanding of individuals with disabilities. In addition, participants are informed about available resources and potential careers. The 2009 Disability Awareness Workshop will be held on Wednesday, October 21.
Supervisor Training Workshop
This annual event is designed for human service professionals currently in supervisory positions as well as those seeking to develop or refine leadership and supervision skills. In 2008, more than 60 individuals attended this training. The next Supervisor Training Workshop is scheduled for Friday, January 8, 2010. Registration is now open.
