| Across the Academy: Building Co-Curricular Professional Development with Student Input to Strengthen Programs Presenters: Amanda Gray – University of Kansas – School of Medicine Heather Rissler – University of Kansas – School of Medicine Date and Time: Monday, June 16, 2025, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM MDT The dominant story circulating in higher education is partnerships are too difficult to forge, or if they exist, they must take just one form: faculty and staff leading students. However, when students are brought into the fold of curriculum creation, they become empowered to share their ideas and suggestions and are excited to be a part of the process. In turn, faculty and staff are re-energized by the thoughtfulness and innovation of students. With this spirit, the University of Kansas School of Medicine devised a plan recruiting a group of students, faculty, and staff across our multi-campus institution to come together to create a strengths-based professional development curriculum and coaching program. |
