In today's public sector environment, delivering projects on-time and within budget while maintaining a focused project scope is increasingly expected. Strong project management skills are critical towards this end, but often employees lack the knowledge and training for effectively managing projects.

Successful project management comes down to the effective management of the project scope, schedule, and budget.An overview of: - Understanding and applying skills, tools, and procedures needed to manage projects in the public sector. - Developing and managing public sector project scope, budgets, costs, and schedules. - Understanding the challenges and distinguishing characteristics of public sector projects. - Leading, managing, and working successfully in project teams.

Neag School of Education's Reading and Language Center is hosting the Adolescent Literacy Summit on Friday, May 16, 2025 at UConn Hartford (UConn Graduate Business Learning Center). The Adolescent Literacy Summit will bring together secondary educators and administrators to build awareness, community, and capacity to engage the major challenges and opportunities for supporting literacy development in middle and high school. Four featured speakers will lead us through presentations that spark discussion in small groups throughout the day. Each presentation builds on the next to illustrate the complexity with clarity to collectively connect, advocate, resist, and build toward liberatory learning opportunities. Together, we confront racism and ableism in reading instruction, calibrate our focus on preparation for higher education, re-envision remediation and support, and reconsider what counts as foundational for adolescent literacy development. Our featured speakers will be joined by special guests, including recent high school graduates and literacy advocates for special presentations. For more information and to register, visit here.

This experiential workshop explores the profound reciprocal transformation that occurs in the practice of gender-affirming therapy. Mental health providers working with transgender and gender diverse (TGD) clients are not merely witnesses to their clients' journeys and supporting them through transition, but are themselves changed through the process of creating and holding therapeutic space. Participants will examine both the challenges of vicarious trauma and the growth opportunities of vicarious resilience, developing concrete strategies for sustainable practice while honoring the sacred nature of this work. Through multimedia presentations, reflective exercises, case discussions, and collaborative learning, participants will gain deeper understanding of their own experiences while building practical skills for integration and resilience. This workshop uniquely balances honoring the transformative impact of gender-affirming care with developing sustainable clinical practices in the current challenging sociopolitical environment.
