Making it Up as You Go: The Importance of Improv
Thursday, April 11, University Union
- 5:30–6:30 p.m.: Networking reception
- 6:30–8 p.m.: Lecture
Osher at Towson University's SPARK evening programming is back with an event that promises both levity and learning as the conversation homes in on what makes us laugh and why.
Steven Gimbel and Michelle Faulkner-Forson pull back the curtain to show us how improvisation has become not just an entertaining comedic form, but a requirement for adapting to the curves everyday life throws at us. Get insight into the tenets, philosophy, and history of improv comedy while also having a good laugh. Enjoy a special appearance from Towson University’s own improv comedy group, ImprompTU.

CULTIVATE A WINNING WORKPLACE CULTURE

Cultivating a Vibrant and Winning Workplace Culture
Tuesday, April 9, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., South Campus Pavilion
It used to be that the proverbial war for talent could be “bought” with salary increases, bonuses, and extra perks and benefits. That is no longer the case. Employees want to work in organizations where they
- trust the people they work for
- have pride in their work
- enjoy the people with whom they work
If you're interested in learning practical, innovative and inexpensive best practices from great workplaces to support your efforts to cultivate an even stronger culture, join the Dr. Nancy Grasmick Leadership Institute for this upcoming workshop.
