Feb. 6, 2015: '#Oopsism: Communicating Effectively Across Cultures in the 21st Century' workshop

Friday, Feb. 6, 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Rasmuson Hall, Room 316

Do you recall a moment when words escaped from your mouth that made you wish you had a delete key? In this interactive workshop, participants will focus on how innocent remarks shaped by society's negative and positive stereotypes are deemed as subtle "isms" (sexism, racism, elitism, ageism, homophobism, etc.) rather than miscommunication or misconception. Participants will learn how to manage and defuse future "Oops, that's not what I meant!" moments. Register for the workshop to learn how to turn an oopsism into a positive learning moment for all involved.

For more information and the registration link, visit myoopsism.commons.uaa.alaska.edu. Seating is limited; early registration is encouraged. Lunch will be provided.

Note: The previously announced Jan. 30 workshop is currently full. This second session has been added to meet demand.
