SIUE Executive Education Professional Development Workshops
The SIUE School of Business Executive Education program’s project management courses and workshops are open for registration:
Emotions in the Workplace
Today
8 a.m.-noon, SIUE Main Campus - Founders Hall
This session will introduce several concepts associated with emotions in the workplace that can have dramatic impacts on employees, and the way they complete and feel about their jobs.
Specifically, we will discuss how emotions have been demonized in the context of “professional” circles, and how this has contributed to many struggling with how to manage them appropriately. We will discuss, in particular, emotional labor (or the energy and labor people often undergo to manage their own and others’ emotions within the workplace); emotional intelligence – the set of skills and abilities that enable one to manage emotions more effectively; emotional contagion; and emotional climate/culture of organizations.

IRIS Center Hosts "What is a Digital Archive?" Today |
|
| |
The IRIS Center will present "What is a Digital Archive?"
2 p.m.
Friday, March 30
Peck Hall, Room 1405
Speaker: Kristine Hildebrandt, PhD, associate professor in the Department of English Language and Literature
An archive is a collection of documents or records, assembled and curated in order to provide lasting information about a place, a time, a person, an object or set of objects, a movement or a community. Digital archives have proliferated in recent years because of a concurrent rise of "born digital" data and also the need to digitally preserve analog/paper materials.
In this talk, Hildebrandt will provide a general coverage of digital archive initiatives and standards in multiple fields and disciplines. She will discuss debates surrounding archives, including issues of ownership, and access and usability, and will include examples of the archives built in the IRIS Center.
For more information, please contact Katie Knowles at katknow@siue.edu.
