Personal safety and the safety of our students and colleagues is an important topic for Classified Professionals. The day will be dedicated to learning strategies for creating a safe campus environment. Self-care continues to be an important theme as well, and strategies for stress reduction will be presented in several workshops. The goals of the retreat include:

• Safety: Strategies for creating a safe work place and campus, and learning to identify potential safety problems.
• Sanity: Self-care through workshops targeting stress-reduction and relaxation techniques.
• Synergy: A day to meet and network with other Classified Professionals.
