Event: Why Connection Matters
Thursday, February 25, 2021 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm
The Dual Career Program has teamed up with Anna C. DeLong, LCSW, CEAP from FEAP to develop a one-hour, interactive session designed to help you break down barriers to making and maintaining connections. This session will offer some practical tools to make it less overwhelming to connect.
Employees of UVA, UVA Health, and UPG, UVA Graduate and Professional students, and spouses/partners of employees or graduate/professional students are welcome to participate.
