APC Leaders Learning Webinar: Generational Diversity

Learn from fellow academic leaders and strengthen your strategies for addressing diversity and inclusion. Join us next Friday, March 17, at 1:00 pm ET (10:00 am PT), for Dr. Lydia Howell's presentation on Generational Diversity in the Academic Pathology Department. 

This webinar will describe generational differences which may create potential workplace conflicts due to varied attitudes and values, then highlight how understanding and embracing those differences can be an asset in addressing cultural change in the academic pathology department.

Anyone who wishes to attend next week's presentation must RSVP in order to view the webinar.
