This practical session offers legal guidance for navigating common employee-related matters that carry potential legal risk. Carey Ann Denefrio, Senior Counsel in the Office of Counsel, will share legal tips for academic leaders — tips that can make your life as a Department Chair or Director easier. She will be joined by two experienced academic leaders, Reinheld Streingröver (ESM) and Ruth O'Regan (SMD), who will share insights and advice.  

The target audience for this session includes department chairs, directors, and center leaders, but the session is open to all faculty and academic leaders.
