PDD 2026 Call For Proposals

Together Toward Tomorrow: Cultivating Collaboration, Growth and Well-being.

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 the university
Professional growth
Mental health and well-being

We encourage submissions that are relevant and beneficial to our diverse audience. Sessions will be 50 minutes long and can be a traditional presentation, roundtable discussion, your version of a TED Talk (sharing expertise or an inspirational story), or a department open house.

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.
