"I suppose that leadership at one time meant muscle; but today it means getting along with people."  ~Indira Gandhi

Be sure to check out our six skill-building workshops for Management & Leadership.

Check out our website   for details of all Continuing Education classes. We hope to see you soon!
Management & Leadership 
Skill-Builder Workshops

Leadership and management go hand in hand. Good leaders are an enabling force, helping people and organizations to perform and develop. 

Continuing Education, in collaboration with VSU Employee Development Services, is proud to offer several  Management and Leadership Skill-Builder workshops  to help you  hone your leadership and management skills, knowledge, and attitudes to maximize efficiency, nurture and develop talent, and inspire results in your employees.

Special discounts are available for businesses and organizations registering and paying for 3 or more attendees. Call Sue Bailey at 229-245-6484 for details.

VSU Employees must register through the Employee Development website for these workshops.

Wokshops will be held in the  University Center at VSU. Room assignments will appear on your registration receipt. Please call for directions: 229-245-6484.

Learning In Retirement 
 
Ready, Set, Learn

The LIR spring term 'kicked-off' with a great 'Sing in the New Year' luncheon catered by VSU's Chartwells catering service. The music was great and included an impromptu piano selection after the luncheon by Lois piano player Cunningham, age 98, mother of one of the singers, who taught elementary music for 39 years.

Classes began January 19, but there's still plenty of time to register.

The business meeting included the announcement of two changes that LIR is considering to help trim down expenses for the program: 
 
(1)  LIR is considering changing to two semesters per year beginning Fall 2016. 
 
( 2) Registration receipts will no longer be mailed  (except by special request) , but will be held in the Suzanne Linda Continuing Ed Office for pick-up along with parking passes.

Visit our  website  for complete information about all of our learning opportunities.
 
If you want to volunteer, email Suzanne Ewing [email protected] or call 229-245-6484 for further information.

Express Yourself
 
Each of us is born with an innate ability to be able to
baby cryexpress ourselves. Don't think so? Just listen to the deafening cries of a newborn... "I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm uncomfortable,  I'm cold, I need a diaper change."
 
But, we adults are complex beings and we must be able to adequately express ourselves in many ways in order to stay in tune with our world. Some deliver their thoughts more eloquently than others, and depending on their quest for learning, some communicate more intellectually than others.  Are you feeling left behind?  

future_technology.jpg In our everyday work environment, we must be able to stay on top of the latest trends in technology, work on our creative abilities, be convincing as well as credible and be able to prepare reports and presentations so that our audience can grasp our ideas. 

VUS Continuing Education has online courses that can help any of us as we seek ways to better to express ourselves. All of our online courses are accessible at YOUR convenience, 24 /7. 

Check out these 6-week instructor-led course selections that could be just what you need to help you gain confidence, get creative or learn a new way to express yourself:

 
Our ed2go  instructor-led, 6-week format  courses begin on a  Wednesday in each month.
