As newcomers, you may have heard or will hear the phrase "because we've always done it this way" in response to your questions about programs, events, processes, and activities at your institution. You have an opportunity to open the discussion for innovation and change. We will share tools you can use to assess a program or initiative, evaluate effectiveness, and define goals. Learn how to approach a change-resistant team, create a dialogue, potentially sunset a program, and creating new program buy-in.
