Here to Career, UB’s student employment program, is designed to provide student employees with intentional and meaningful on-campus work experience to set them apart in a highly competitive workforce after graduation. This session will give supervisors the opportunity to learn more about the program, understand the benefits of the program, what is required to participate, and provide them with the tools to give their student employees the best employment experience possible.
Learn how developing your self-awareness through the use of assessments such as the DISC communication style assessment and StrengthsFinder can help you to become more engaged at work. Connecting your interests and strengths with your role at UB can significantly reduce burnout and help you to experience work in a whole new way.

4/6/2023: Ice Cream Pictionary: Join us for an interactive 15 minute online Pictionary game. Spring is coming and that means longer days and ice cream! Channel your inner artist and use ice cream as your muse for this edition of Pictionary. Even if you can’t draw, you can guess what everyone else is drawing. Have a little fun and take a break from your work day.
Between stressful days and extracurricular activities, staying energized and eating right can seem overwhelming. This presentation offers quick tips and shows how simple planning can make a huge difference in what we eat AND how we can stay on a budget.
Chair yoga is similar to a universal yoga class however, a chair is incorporated with each pose. When standing poses are included in a Chair yoga class, the chair is used to help with and improve balance. Chair yoga may also include pranayama breathing techniques and meditation to promote focus, mental clarity and relaxation. Note: for virtual sessions, we recommend using a chair without wheels.
Uncover your natural talents using the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment and personal reflection exercises. This workshop will help you to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses, as well as learn to capitalize on others’ strengths to work more effectively with your team. You will learn strategies to turn your talents into an asset for your career and in your life.
