October professional development workshops

By UNIVERSITY RELATIONS

The Management Development Center at FHSU will offer three professional development opportunities to the public this October.

“Maintaining a Healthy & Safe Workplace” is a brand-new workshop partnering with Jana’s Campaign and focusing on debunking the idea that violence won’t happen in the workplace. Dr. Christie Brungardt, founding member of Jana’s Campaign, and Kaiti Dinges, assistant director of Jana’s Campaign, will educate the community on the several forms that workplace violence can take and important steps to prevent it.

This workshop will be from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Oct. 17, in the Memorial Union’s Stouffer Lounge. Registration is $119.

“Mobile Photography” will teach participants how to captivate and engage the target audience with a photo from your phone. Learn how to optimize the camera on a phone, manage and edit photos through mobile apps and use the environment to create Web-ready photos.

“Instagram Marketing” will teach participants how to harness the powerful visual marketing platform to build a loyal audience that grows with the business. The workshop covers all the latest features of Instagram as well as strategies to grow a following, develop engaging content, advertise and sell on the platform and much more.

Mobile Photography will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon and Instagram Marketing will be held from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., both on Friday, Oct. 25, in the Memorial Union’s Stouffer Lounge. Registration for these workshops are $119, or attend both at a discounted price of $200.

Registration can be completed online through the registration link at www.fhsu.edu/mdc. Registration closes one week before each workshop. Hays Area Chamber of Commerce members are eligible for a 15-percent discount on registration.
