NRP Education Session: Professional Development Goals

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Professional Development Goals: Turning Growth Into a Plan

Join the UNC Network for Research Professionals (NRP) for an online education session with Daisha Gains, Senior Learning Architect, and several prior awardees of the NRP Professional Development Award.

Growth doesn't happen by accident—it happens with a plan. In this session, you'll learn how to write a clear development goal using SMART as a guide, identify a direction for your growth that's meaningful to you, and connect it to real learning opportunities and on-the-job application. You'll leave with the start of your own professional development plan, ready to build on.
