VCU’s Great Place Initiative offers interactive seminar for employees

The Virginia Commonwealth University Great Place Initiative is a university effort to celebrate and enhance its dynamic living, learning and working community to advance faculty, staff and students. 

To ensure that VCU remains a great place to work, the Great Place Initiative is hosting a seminar for faculty and staff called “VCU’s Great Place Initiative: Valuing Our Community Members.”
