Part 1 of 3 - Annual Meeting Conversations with Sarah

Back at it again, UC Berkeley's University Registrar and For the Record Co-Host, Sarah Reed, interviews colleagues at the 2023 AACRAO Annual Meeting about what resonates personally and professionally for them in this multi-part series. Sarah was inspired by the 108th Annual Conference Opening Plenary Speaker, BD Wong, and the vulnerability and strength he shared when unpacking his personal and professional journey and intersecting identities.  In a nod to BD, Sarah invites each guest to share how they have been seen/unseen and where they are on their own journey towards complete authenticity.

Key Takeaways:

In Part 1, we chat about the experiences of attending the AACRAO conference for the first time; we dive into the perspective of change management from a millennial; we learn tips on what to think through when evaluating applying for advancement and a potential move across the country, and how a team can help onboard a new member; we share in the experience of a colleague who unpacked her feelings and learns to embrace her whole self both personally and professionally. Finally, each guest explores where they have been seen/unseen. In conclusion, Sarah invites you to take a moment of pause and self-reflection with her before closing out with today's affirmation.
