UGAPR Professional Development Workshops

In 2023, at the beginning of the formal revised UGAPR process, professional development that supports and explains its key elements were offered to participants in the first cohort. Those 30-40-minute workshops appear below with links to launch the presentations. Any of these workshops can be requested by individual departments as needed. After this early phase of APR, it may be possible to replace some of these workshops with an asynchronous, on-demand course covering the material.
