Agile EQ: Understanding Emotional Intelligence Tuesday, April 20th; 8:30am-12:00pm FHSU Memorial Union - Trails Room Price: $119 (Hays Chamber & FHSU Alumni discount available) In today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and chaotic personal lives, each of us is searching for effective tools that can make our schedules, behaviors, and relationships more manageable. Agile emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to read the emotional and interpersonal needs of a situation and respond accordingly. Developing your EQ can improve your interactions, productivity, and outcomes. There are different ways to be emotionally intelligent. Some of these ways will come naturally to you.
Others are more of a stretch. Learning to stretch to different mindsets gives you the agility to adapt your responses to whatever situation you’re facing. First Impressions Matter: A Customer Service Workshop Wednesday, May 5th; 1:00pm-4:00pm FHSU Memorial Union - Trails Room Price: $119 (Hays Chamber & FHSU Alumni discount available) This training will assist participants in implementing a service culture within their organization. The workshop will also help develop individual professional and personal aptitudes in the areas of customer service, telephone etiquette, communication/listening, written and email communication. CliftonStrengths Essentials (Virtual) Tuesday, May. 25-26th; 9:00-12:00pm (both days) Virtual Event Price: $219 (Hays Chamber & FHSU Alumni discount available) Is it best to spend time utilizing your strengths or is it more productive to work on your weaknesses? Gallup’s Strengths theory claims people should spend the majority of their time doing what they do best; using their already existing natural talents to become more productive and profitable in the workplace and at home. In this workshop, we will explore your natural talents and how to turn those talents into strengths, while also learning how to recognize talents in others and utilize them for the success of the team. This workshop requires some pre-work. This workshop will be held via Zoom video conferencing. *A link to join the virtual Zoom sessions will be sent to you prior to the workshop. WORKDAY ANNOUNCEMENTS Z-Course Tag in Workday Starting Fall 2021, 94 courses (156 sections) will be offered with a z-course or z-course (fee waived) tag. These z-course tags can be found in Workday to indicate that the course has elected to use zero-cost course materials which students can access for free, instead of purchasing traditional textbooks. To find z- courses, follow these Workday instructions. What do the z-course tags mean? Students taking a "z-course" will pay a $12 fee, in place of textbook costs, to contribute into a cost- sharing model. Over time, this cost sharing model helps incentivize faculty and departments to convert more courses to use zero-cost course materials which continues the cycle of textbook savings. Learn more about the z-course program here: https://fhsu.edu/oer/z-courses/z-course-designation Courses labeled "z-course (fee waived)" have decided to waive the $12 cost sharing fee. As you begin enrollment and registration for students in the coming weeks, please be aware of these course tags and how they may help save your students from the rising costs of textbooks and ensure that they have access to the required course materials on day one. Please direct any questions about the z- course designation and z-course program to Claire Nickerson, cenickerson@fhsu.edu. The FHSU Student Evaluation of Academic Advising Now Live In Blue

New Workshops for Spring Schedules
The Department of Criminal Justice has added two one-credit hour workshops to the spring schedule,
open to students of any major:
CRJ 100 B Workshop in Criminal Justice: Mental Health First Aid
This course explores different training models available for increasing knowledge, assessing for
safety, and responding to mental illness. Students in this course will learn how to help someone
developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis by assessing for
suicide risk, listening non-judgmentally, giving assurance and information, encouraging
professional help, and finally, encouraging self-help. Successful completion of the course will
result in certification in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA).
CRJ 100 C Workshop in Criminal Justice: De-escalation Training
This course introduces students to Marston’s (1928) DISC personality model, the most popular
and broadly accepted personality model in the world. Advancements to this model, developed in
2014, offer the most comprehensive, innovative, evidence-based experiential de-escalation
training available anywhere. Students enrolled in this course will be trained in the first and only
nationally certified training program to incorporate personality modeling and threat stage
recognition. Students will learn to take actions based on one’s personality and adjust to needs of
those in crisis. In addition, students will learn to employ best practice de-escalation methods,
including to convey respect, permit venting and use active listening. Finally, students will learn
how to respond to active or passive threats and de-escalate more efficiently and safely.
Both of these workshops are appropriate for any student pursuing a career in the social or behavioral
sciences, nursing, education, and others. Contact the Department of Criminal Justice at
criminaljustice@fhsu.edu with any questions regarding either course.
Big Event 2021 – Live on TigerLink!
FHSU’s Student Government Association is gearing up for their 10th Annual Big Event, which is
scheduled for Saturday, April 24th, 2021. The Big Event 2021 is all about “serving smiles” in a safe
way. The purpose of the Big Event is to give our students the opportunity to say thank you to the
community that supports them throughout the year in a “big” way. Working alongside SGA to help
provide students this opportunity to say thank you is the Fort Hays State University Foundation and
Student Engagement. Of course, the event will look slightly different this year due to COVID-19 rulesand restrictions, but SGA is prepared to take every precaution in order to make this event as great as it has
been in the past.
Unlike in recent years, throughout the day there are going to be four two-hour long shifts that students can
volunteer for so we can assure we are creating the safest environment for everyone. SGA realizes there is
a risk with our volunteers coming into businesses and facilities, but we have come up with a solution for
individuals who want our help but are not willing to meet in person. SGA is also allowing you to provide
service projects that can be done from a distance to insure we are helping in the safest way possible. The
Big Event is an opportunity for our students and community to witness the unique relationship that they
have with one another and this year, they are even more excited to bring joy and happiness during these
hard times.
For any questions, please contact sga.crd@fhsu.edu or call our office at 785-628-5311.
