Live Zoom Events in August
The ARC is back, better than ever and ready for the new academic year. We will be running a full week of "live" Zoom trianings in a "breakout" style from August 10-14. Typically, events start on the hour and run for 50 minutes, but there are a few exceptions, so keep an eye out for those. This page does not have session descriptions or track suggestions. If you need those, please check our "Sessions and Tracks" page. This is also where you will find PowerPoint slides for sessions as well as recordings of previous versions of sessions.
How to Sign Up for Trainings/Events: Most events do not require you to sign up unless you want to. If you would like your attendance to an event to be tracked and shown on your WSU employee "training transcript" (this is not an academic transcript; it is your HR training transcript), you can sign up for most live Zoom events through myTraining, found in the MyWSU Portal. Otherwise, you can find the link to these Zoom-based events here in this schedule. Just click the link when it's time for the training. Note that you will see blank links called "Link to Zoom Session," but that will become a hyperlink as soon as the link is available. These Zoom links will not be live until 10 minutes before the session time at the earliest.
For descriptions of these sessions, please refer to the Choose Your Session by Topic or Track page. Need a break during the day? Check out our ARC "Break room" with live "cams" with cute animals!
