SOUTHERN DELAWARE WORKSHOPS
Secretarial seminars
Partnerships in Learning. That's the force driving a new
program at the University. Spring 1992 will see the debut of three
Secretarial Seminars in southern Delaware, co-sponsored by the
following University units continuing education, employee
development, women's affairs and employee assistance and wellness.
The seminars are designed to encourage participation from the
entire southern Delaware secretarial community, allowing
non-University secretaries to attend for a seminar fee. It is
expected that the opportunities to meet colleagues in similar
positions from other industries will foster the sharing of
resources and information.
Each seminar offers a full-day training program or two
half-day workshops. For University of Delaware employees, the
seminars are free. However, pre-registration is required and there
is a modest charge for the luncheon. The seminars are flexible
enough to accommodate full-day or half-day registrants.
