All RIC employees are invited to attend RIC’s annual Community Development Day – an opportunity to gather and learn from other colleagues, to foster an inclusive community, and to focus on our amazing students! Our schedule features Dr. Warner’s presidential address, the expertise of our own RIC faculty and staff, and the voices of our students. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Strengthening Our Team
“Faculty and staff are pivotal in RIC’s transformation and success. Continuous professional development nourishes a culture of learning and discovery, fosters innovation and creativity, and most importantly, nurtures professional excellence and pride. RIC will be a stronger institution because of its deliberate and inclusive support of its faculty and staff’s professional development. A robust professional development program evaluates the current needs and establishes priorities that are aligned with RIC’s mission, vision, and values. Overall, a well-planned and well-executed professional development program makes individual and institutional growth and excellence possible.”
