Classified Professional Development
Flex Day Presenter Interest Form
Welcome!
The Classified Staff Development Program is intended to provide opportunities to attend classes and workshops that will promote outstanding departments, programs and services, while fostering the creativity, personal growth and advancement of our employees.
Flex Days - New Programming
Classified staff may attend Flex Day workshops either in person or via Zoom. There is no cost for Flex Day activities. The Classified Senate is working with the CTTL to improve program offerings for classified professionals on Flex Day; the January 10 Opening Day has numerous sessions of general interest. President Orante is encouraging deans and managers to allow staff to attend either part or all day. Learn more about Flex Days.
