What We're Hearing From Attendees
"I most enjoyed the sessions where outside speakers came, such as faculty and staff from around the university. This brought fresh content and true expertise to the sessions that made them particularly interesting."
"The Week of Learning is better than a lot of professional conferences."
"WOL always makes me feel more connected to the university-at-large."
"I liked learning about upcoming changes such as the CRM implementation and what tools UVA staff have access to (e.g.: Microsoft Copilot, Canva)"
The Carter Mountain picnic was amazing this year especially with the lovely weather. The band was outstanding."
"I liked the pacing between sessions - it was less rushed and I was able to connect with colleagues more."
"My favorite part is always the networking. The seminars are great, but the most useful thing for me is meeting my coworkers in other departments. Knowing what everyone else does, can do, and is working on is so valuable."
"I really enjoyed the ACE presentation during the community meeting - what a great way to showcase and celebrate our colleagues!"
