Staff Retreat Update: Save the Date for January 8

Misti Smith

Hello fellow staffers!

Here’s a quick update on what to expect at our first Staff Retreat, happening on January 8th, from 9 AM to 3 PM!

Attendance

Our goal is for everyone to participate in the full day of activities. However, we understand that some departments may need to remain operational. To ensure as many staff members as possible can join, department heads are encouraged to arrange schedules so each staff member can attend for at least half of the day.

Schedule of Activities

9:00–10:00 AM: Meet and Mingle
10:00–11:00 AM: Concurrent Session Block 1
11:00–12:00 PM: Concurrent Session Block 2
12:00–1:00 PM: Break
1:00–2:00 PM: Concurrent Session Block 3
2:00–3:00 PM: Concurrent Session Block 4

Session Topics

We’re still looking for a few more session ideas! If you have a unique talent or area of expertise you'd like to share, I’d love to include it in the lineup. Please email your suggestions to msmith@francis.edu.

So far, our sessions will cover a variety of topics, including wellness, workplace tips, crafts, and other fun and engaging activities.

Let’s make this retreat a fantastic day for everyone!
