Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning - Reimagining Professional and Continuing Education How does one reimagine the work of a PaCE unit in institutional and regional contexts? As a new dean of professional and continuing education at CSUCI, and also a new staff member at a CSU campus, a year was filled with surprises (“why's and how's", “what do you mean by CI-way?" and plenty of “Aha!" moments), and a rapid learning curve linked to reimagining possibilities. This session will share a new dean's journey for the last year 18+ months at CSUCI and provide personal and professional perspectives on navigating the “uniqueness" of a young campus in the largest U.S. public university system.
