90 Minutes: Civility.  Compassion.  Respect.  Kindness.  Service.  Those related concepts are out of fashion in government and in society right now. Let’s look at their place in the world of Research Administration. Is it weak or silly to think of civility in a profession grounded in a vast policy and regulatory framework?  Is it foolish to think of civility when our conversations with frustrated customers can verge on hostility?  Is there really value in taking a compassionate approach when so many people push us for their own timeframes and their own needs?  Do we as research administrators have the responsibility to show respect even in the face of anger and frustration?  

This webinar will be a conversation between the panelists.  We will ask questions and challenge assumptions as we discuss the practical and ethical roles of civility in a time of conflict, uncertainty, and volatility.  
Please join us for this special webinar presentation as we wind down 2018 and prepare for 2019 with a renewed focus on the role of civility in our profession. This is an excellent opportunity to bring your team and constituencies together for this important and timely conversation.

We invite you to contact us in advance with questions and comments by sending an email to: kmoreland@rsp.wisc.edu.

We will be taking questions and comments throughout the webinar. We look forward to your participation.

• Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
• We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
