You are able to find out more information on the content of each session and Register your desired attendance in your myMonash portal. If you are too late and the event is full you will be placed on a waiting list. If you cannot attend an event you have Registered for, please cancel and your fellow student will be bumped from the Wait list to enable them to attend.
Please note the Assertiveness and Public Speaking sessions are both ‘two-parters’; do not Register if you cannot attend both as there is a take home practice task for presentation the following week, in order to fully benefit and practice the skills taught.
I hope you feel these training sessions will come in very useful in both professional and personal life situations. The faculty hopes you find them of benefit.

4. Survey
Beginning next week, eSolutions will be sending 6,000 Monash staff and 17,000 students a survey on IT Service Quality.
It is conducted on our behalf by Systems Thinking and contributes to IT service improvement in several ways: it gives us an independent view on our current performance; it provides a time-series view of service quality (5 years currently); and it provides a benchmark with 30+ Australian universities, including most of the Go8.
We would encourage all staff and students to participate.
