In this time of change and challenge, we often find the need to simply maintain, to not stretch ourselves. This is the first step in a change process, and an understandable one in this time. As we continue however, the need for innovation and creativity becomes increasingly clear. We need to think of new ways to work through processes, to collaborate, to connect. The methods that were used in the initial months of remote work for some may be improvable now with our increased understanding of our changing work environment. This workshop will unpack routines we are currently in, and address strategies for getting “unstuck”, thinking creatively, and innovating within our work environment. Creativity and Innovation will also be the theme for the February LinkedIn Learning Challenge.

Attention Sophomores! Change the way you experience Spring 2021!
Missing the spaces on campus where you could comfortably show up as yourself? Missing meaningful, spontaneous social interactions that all add up to feeling connected and a part of? While there is so much diversity in who we are and how we show up in the world as Amherst students, we are all going through the shared experience of college in the pandemic... Which for sophomores, is a shared experience of college away from college. We're creating this space for Amherst Sophomores through a virtual program that will reinvent the Val-sit, go further then a cross-quad hello, and overcome all the space between us. Take the Leap 2.0 is an every-other-week virtual meet-up throughout Spring 2021 that will create connection amidst the distance, find meaning in our and others’ experiences, and continue building the friendships and memories that college is made of.
