More than just a lecture
UMC is more than just a lecture. It’s an opportunity to connect and grow, with new ideas and new colleagues. You will work together in teams to create solutions for your challenges. You will learn about where you are as a leader or administrator, to identify your style and how to adapt to become an even better and more effective professional. You will reflect on your experiences.
UMC is your opportunity to step beyond familiar daily routines, to connect with new people and new ideas for fresh perspective, and continued personal and professional growth.
