Professional Development Work Group

The Professional Development Work Group (PDWG) revitalizes, inspires, and enhances professional and personal development through a collaborative exchange of ideas, practices, concepts, and programs that promote equity-mindedness, performance, critical thinking, and lifelong learning within and across the college community. Our aim is to cultivate an institutional culture that encourages and values ongoing professional development and strives to embrace the diversity of our world by forging a supportive learning and working environment.
