President Ed Seidel invites eligible University of Wyoming staff members to apply for the new staff professional development grant.
"At the University of Wyoming, our mission is to unlock the extraordinary in every person through education, research, innovation, engagement and service," Seidel says. "To stay at the forefront of their fields, UW staff members are encouraged to participate in professional development opportunities relevant to their responsibilities."
The staff professional development grant is designed for staff members up to the director level. All applicants must be in full-time employment status and must have completed one year of full-time, uninterrupted service at UW at the time of application. Eligible staff members may apply for up to $5,000 in professional development funding and may use grant funding once per fiscal year.
The staff professional development grant supports UW's strategic plan, particularly objective 3 -- "provide a supportive community" -- enabling staff members with the resources they need to achieve satisfaction and growth within their profession.
