CULTIVATING AND ENCOURAGING OUR NONEXEMPT LEADER POTENTIAL!
The Ofce of Human Resources is excited to announce the start of the nomination process for
UD Connections, our cohort-based, multisession program for full-time, nonexempt
employees at the University of Dayton!
Although participation is not tied to a promotion, pay raise or any other reward system, being selected
for this program can:
Lead to the creation of greater institutional knowledge and commitment among nonexempt
employees.
Provide the cohort with a personal and professional development opportunity.
Recognize the contribution of nonexempt employees and retain them as valuable supporters
of the mission.
Help build community within UD.
Develop employees who are familiar with nonexempt professional concerns to serve on
University committees.
Enable the ability to knowledgeably represent UD in the greater Dayton community.
MAKING THE COMMITMENT
As part of their commitment, supervisors or managers will:
Allow and encourage participants to attend the sessions.
Create opportunities for participants to use their knowledge
and skills within and outside the department or unit.
As part of their commitment, participants will:
Attend at least ve out of six of the programs outlined
on the attached UD Connections calendar.
Contribute thoughtfully to the session discussion.
Adhere to the ground rules established for the program.
NOMINATION AND SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS
Potential participants may be nominated by their supervisors or may
self-nominate using the attached UD Connections candidate application.
At least one (1) letter of recommendation is required. The number of
participants is limited; selections will be made by the UD Connections
