  • Creativity Series, Part 3: Powering Up Your Creativity to Find Workplace Solutions

    Tuesday, February 11, 2025

    12:00 PM-1:00 PM

    Zoom meeting: https://drexel.zoom.us/j/86454581714

    • Everyone

    What is creativity, and how can we use novel ideas to transform workplace problems and solve them collaboratively? Some people believe the only point in a college degree is to land a job, build a career and climb the promotion ladder. Even when landing that dream job, it can be fraught with problems. Rarely do we process our experiences and develop new skills to solve these problems. This session invites participants to share their beliefs about creativity from which we will build a common definition of creativity that is also grounded in research. Then, Jen will share essential features of creative problem solving to help learn about and manage the creative problem-solving (CPS) cycle for “self” and “other.” In this session, you will also be invited to reflect on a problem of practice in your workplace, and develop actionable ideas for breaking through these problems using the CPS cycle.

  • How to Advance Your Career through Professional Development

    Tuesday, March 11, 2025

    12:00 PM-1:00 PM

    Zoom meeting: https://drexel.zoom.us/j/86454581714

    • Everyone

    The skills gap — the discrepancy between the skills employers need and the skills that candidates and workers possess — has been a persistent challenge in the job market (Forbes, 2023). Professionals at every career level from emerging leaders to career shifters can benefit from enrolling in short certification courses and industry bootcamps to ensure that they stay relevant and prepared for the ever-changing workplace. Completing a professional certificate in project management, continuous improvement, and leadership development can position a person for salary increases, new leadership roles, and a smooth pivot to begin working in a new industry.

  • Demystifying DEI: Addressing Five Common Misperceptions

    Tuesday, April 8, 2025

    12:00 PM-1:00 PM

    Zoom meeting: https://drexel.zoom.us/j/86454581714

    • Everyone

    In just a few years’ time, three letters—DEI—have generated much controversy. Drexel University’s inaugural Vice Provost for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion believes that is because DEI is poorly understood. In this session, Dr. Ashburn-Nardo will share evidence to “demystify” DEI and address five common misperceptions:

    1. DEI is unnecessary.
    2. DEI trainings will address all our problems.
    3. DEI only benefits certain groups.
    4. DEI lowers standards.
    5. DEI creates more division than unity.
