The PROPEL Project provides funding, support and coaching to managers and administrators who would like to enhance their professional skills, contribute to their fields and demonstrate leadership within the University community. This program focuses on funding active participation in professional conferences, with an emphasis on coaching support to help employees maximize their conference participation for career and professional growth.
At-will managers and administrators who are not otherwise affiliated with any of the institution’s collective bargaining agreements are eligible to apply.
