The LCP is open to all managers who have at least 1 full-time direct report. All newly hired and promoted managers are automatically enrolled in the program and are encouraged to begin within six months.
Brown’s beloved Staff Development Day (SDD) tradition is offering professional and personal growth and other engagement opportunities on campus along with some virtual offerings to accommodate our remote and hybrid staff.
