Workshops to Be Held at Lehman for 'Administrative Professionals Week'

Want to learn the basics of graphic design or create a dynamic presentation using Microsoft Powerpoint? The College will offer a series of hands-on workshops during Administrative Professionals Week (April 24 - 30) that will include those topics, along with an online program on "Preventing Sexual Harassment."

Originally known as "National Secretaries Week" when it was started in 1952 by the National Secretaries Association (currently the International Association of Administrative Professionals), "Administrative Professionals Week" recognizes administrators nationwide for their contributions to the workplace.

The theme for this year's recognition is "Innovation Advances Administrative Professionals." Three workshops will be offered on campus (see schedule below): "Basic Elements of Design" led by Publications Manager Barbara Cardillo of the Office of Media Relations and Publications, and "Advanced Microsoft Word Workshop" and "Introduction to Microsoft Powerpoint," both led by Library Technical Coordinator Raymond Diaz.

Those interested in attending any of the workshops should receive approval from their supervisors and then send an email to diversity.resources@lehman.cuny.edu, identifying the workshops they plan to attend. Supervisors should be copied on confirmation emails.
