Coffee ChatsCoffee Chats are like town hall meetings but on a much smaller scale. They are often conducted by Craig Weidemann, Vice President for Outreach and Vice Provost for Online Education. The programs are designed to keep staff informed about current news and initiatives in both Outreach and Online Education as a whole, and offer the opportunity for staff to ask questions or voice concerns or ideas about Outreach and the larger Penn State community in a small and informal atmosphere.TBD
Business LiteracyBusiness Literacy Meetings are designed to keep staff apprised of the current business environment of higher education and how trends, concerns, and information relate to Outreach, Penn State University and the field of higher Education as a whole. The goal of these meetings is to clarify for staff our own initiatives and changes in Outreach and how those business-related changes and initiatives relate to the broader concerns and changes taking place in Higher Education.TBD
