PDD 2026 Call For Proposals

Together Toward Tomorrow: Cultivating Collaboration and Growth.

The objective of Professional Development Day is to create a comprehensive learning experience that facilitates shared knowledge and best practices around the following areas:

Collaboration across divisions and the university
Professional growth & career development
Sense of belonging
Well-being

We welcome proposals for traditional presentations/workshops, roundtable discussions, or TED Talk-style sessions.

This year we will also be adding a Poster Session, which will give presenters an opportunity to share information with colleagues in a more conversational setting. Submissions should be for a 45-50 minute session.
