SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\nKatina Sawyer\nWednesday\, January 28\, 2026\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/2rQpD\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nA troubling trend is emerging in today’s workplace: employee morale and overall satisfaction are in sharp decline\, despite companies investing more in wellness initiatives than ever before. What’s missing? Contrary to popular beliefs and large investments from companies\, “add-on” offerings like wellness classes\, mindfulness training\, and healthy lifestyle initiatives are not perceived as helpful for improving employee wellness. Many organizations misunderstand wellness―it’s not a program or a box to check. Instead\, employees’ actual day-to-day experiences at work and interactions with their leaders are far more important than wellness programs or initiatives. \n\nLearn about a science-backed blueprint for fostering healthier\, more productive work environments rooted in actionable steps for leaders to become “Generators”―the leaders organizations and employees value most who cultivate genuine connections\, create a positive team culture\, and help employees achieve their work and life goals. Gain a clear\, data-driven path forward and a concrete plan to turn the session’s insights into action―to become the Generators you and others have the potential to be. \n\nAbout Sawyer:\nDr. Katina Sawyer is an internationally recognized expert on the science of workplace wellness.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Practicing Equity: Inclusive Curation\, Imaginative Methods\, and Community Impact -- An Interactive Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Developed for the Black Curatorial Institute (BCI)\nFacilitator: Dr. Kelli Morgan\n\nPracticing Equity is an interactive seminar designed for educators\, artists\, and cultural workers committed to building inclusive\, community-centered teaching and research practices. The session integrates foundational texts from Black Feminist scholars and curators\, alongside various community-centered exhibitions\, to connect critical theory with actionable professional practice.
