Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022
10 – 10:30 am (PST)
Please join Mark Bell and David Bunn to learn about the Summer Work Experience program of the Global Health Institute (specifically the UCGHI Planetary Health Center of Expertise that sits at UC Davis). ANR has participated in the past and as a result we have had 20+ undergraduate and graduate students doing a summer session with Advisors in the counties and with Statewide Programs and Institutes.
The fellowships allow the students to get some “real world” experience and provide UC ANR with the support of some of some really sharp UC student minds. The program draws from students across the University of California system. Join us to learn how to sponsor an undergraduate or graduate student this summer.

What is the Extension Foundation? How can you benefit from it?
The Extension Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded by Extension directors and administrators in 2006. Originally it was founded as an electronic publishing service for Cooperative Extension. In 2014, Directors and Administrators changed the mission of the organization to meet the evolving needs of the Cooperative Extension System (click here for Extension Foundation timeline). Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods, partners and funding. The Foundation also provides exclusive services and professional development to its members.
UC ANR is a member of the Extension Foundation. Therefore, as an ANR employee, you're a member, too. Click here to create your account and select subgroups of interest.
The Extension Foundation (EXF) helps Cooperative Extension (CE) professionals like us make a more innovative, visible and measurable impact on local issues. They challenge us to use intentional program design that fosters innovation, collaboration, strategic partnerships, user engagement and continual evaluation for iteration and validation of programming efforts. The Impact Collaborative methodology is a driver for establishing and validating programming approaches. Click here to read more. Registrations open in 2022:

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSION
___________________________________________________________________________________
Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022
Noon – 1 p.m.
This webinar addresses the question that many program managers and teams are asking themselves: “How do I systematically integrate the wealth of information, opportunities, resources, policies, and professional development opportunities around Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion put them into practice in my program?” This session explores the process that the UC California Naturalist program has used to operationalize its JEDI strategic plan using a simple framework focusing on four key areas: Relationships, Relevance, Recruitment and Responsibility. This framework is a work in progress and presented in the spirit of sharing our experience in addressing the question above. It is not indented to be a one size fits all approach for all programs. Please join us in a discussion to learn more about the benefits and challenges of the 4R's framework from examples drawn from the UC California Naturalist program.

Using reflection exercises, participants will explore the relationship between impressions and bias and introduce learners to key research involving biases in hiring. Participants will leave the session having greater awareness and understanding of bias theory (coupled with case studies) and strategies in mitigating bias in the hiring process.

Developing a Critical Thinking Mindset (LinkedIn Learning)
Click here to learn more and access course.
Critical thinking is often cited as a desirable skill to have, but what exactly does it mean to be a critical thinker, and how does one achieve this mindset? The goal of critical thinking is to give ourselves time and tools for improving how we think, to see things closer to how they really are, and get a better sense of the world. But just understanding the concepts won't get you there. As Becki Saltzman explains, developing a critical thinking mindset requires commitment and deliberate practice. Becki shows how to put critical thinking knowledge to work to create a mindset that enables you to examine information and determine how to assess information you can trust.
