Opening Session: What Is a Manager?

This session will set the stage for the week, with introductions of faculty, attendees, teams, and a personal action plan. In this highly interactive session, we will contextualize the program in terms of both EDUCAUSE professional development offerings and management concepts.

• Recall names of faculty and team members and state a memorable trait or piece of information about team members
• Identify one potential positive outcome of devoting time and effort to completing a personal action plan
• Relate personal traits and behaviors to characteristics of an effective manager
