NCLUDE Networking: Terrible Bosses: What Not to Do IEC Edition

Institutional Equity and Compliance (IEC) will host this NCLUDE Networking session. In this session we’ll unpack the story of Tom and Jerry—a case study that shines a light on the complexities of workplace relationships and how the Sexual Misconduct Policy applies in real-world situations. Together, we’ll explore what happens when professional boundaries blur, and walk step-by-step through the Institutional Equity and Compliance (IEC) processes, resources, and supports available. By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of IEC’s role at UNL, reporting procedures, and resources available.

NCLUDE traditionally brings small groups together for six in-depth meetings over a semester, the new NCLUDE Networking Sessions are designed for those who may not have the availability for a long-term commitment but are still eager to build connections and learn from colleagues across campus.

Each 90-minute session will feature a unique blend of learning and connection:
1. Informal Welcome (15 minutes): A chance to grab a refreshment and casually greet fellow attendees.

2. Microlesson (15 minutes): A different university department will lead a concise, engaging presentation on a topic within their area of expertise. These microlessons are crafted to spark thought and conversation, aligning with NCLUDE’s mission to leverage diverse voices and promote a cognitive shift toward community building.

3. Speed Networking (1 hour): Get ready to connect! This interactive segment, similar to “speed dating,” will provide participants with five opportunities to engage in focused, one-on-one conversations. Attendees will respond to pre-determined prompts related to the microlesson and broader themes of campus community, ensuring meaningful interactions and new connections.
