Wake Forest University faculty and staff have access to thousands of professional development resources through WorkDay Learning, which replaced the Professional Development Center (PDC) website in 2022. Workshops offered by your colleagues in IS and around campus are still available as we close out the fall semester. Spring workshop registration is now open.
