Dr. Ben Jones led the organizing of a weeklong August event in Utqiagvik to celebrate
the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory. The lab at Utqiagvik, at the northern tip of Alaska, has changed since its beginnings.
It now operates under a different name and with a different owner and operator, Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation and subsidiary UIC Science. But the legacy of the original lab reaches Jones and others to this day.
If organizations are to continue to be flexible and innovative to meet the challenges
of the future, employees will need to not only be responsible for their own actions
and decisions, but will also need to have the ability to work independently. This
session looks at the skills necessary to develop autonomy and the characteristics
of individuals who demonstrate autonomy. Visit myUA for more information and to sign up to attend this webinar on Friday, Sept. 16 from11
a.m.-noon. You must sign up to receive the webinar information from ComPsych.
