The Faculty and Staff Training (FAST) program is back for Spring 2026, and we want you to lead a session. FAST is professional development for UNO, by UNO. It’s powered by faculty and staff who know this campus best.

Why it Matters

FAST workshops help strengthen UNO’s workplace culture and support our mission of empowering people through learning. Whether you’ve got a practical tool, leadership insight, or personal experience to share, your know-how can help colleagues lead better, work smarter, and feel more supported. This is how Mavericks grow together. When we share what we know, we build a stronger, more connected UNO community.

What We’re Looking For

Have an idea worth sharing? FAST is accepting 1-hour workshop proposals on:

  • Leading teams and supervising effectively
  • Building workplace knowledge and skills
  • Supporting wellness and well-being

We’re selecting six workshops for the Spring 2026 series. Sessions should be practical, engaging, and designed for a broad UNO faculty/staff audience. All presenters will receive a $100 honorarium.

Proposal Requirements

Include the following in your submission:

  • Workshop title
  • Short description (2–4 sentences)
  • 2–3 learning objectives
  • Preferred dates/times during Spring 2026
  • Intended audience (e.g., supervisors, admin, general)
  • Delivery format (Zoom/in-person)
  • Presenter name, department, contact info

Deadline

Have an idea? Don’t wait - submit your proposal and help shape the Spring 2026 FAST series.
