R&I STAFF RETREAT
COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING. KEEPING TOGETHER IS A PROGRESS. WORKING TOGTHER IS SUCCESS.
Each summer, the Division of Research & Innovation (R&I) hosts a staff retreat. A staff retreat is a great way to boost employee morale and strengthen relationships across the teams in the division. This year Vice President Rajan, supported the day-long 2021 R&I Retreat at an off-campus venue. It allowed the team a chance to take a step back from the day-to-day work, spend time building towards the bigger picture, rejuvenate, and get excited around a united mission of the Division while having fun and building bonds between the team members. This year’s retreat was particularly important. Vice President Rajan set the expectation for the day: to be FUN. He presented what the team had accomplished the previous year, despite historic challenges. The Division remained true to its core values, vision, and goals and rose to the challenge of serving PVAMU faculty, researchers, and students. The retreat provided an opportunity for R&I leadership and each of the area heads to share information on challenges and accomplishments, and changes during the last year. The leadership also shared plans and goals for the next fiscal year.
