Join us this week for the kickoff of our no-cost, biweekly gatherings to support staff experiencing job loss and/or career uncertainty!
Our upcoming collective gatherings (view the schedule here) will focus on how we can uplift one another as higher ed staff colleagues across the country as we each navigate our career journeys and unique life paths. You may now register for specific gathering dates via the website—please consider sharing this free opportunity broadly with any staff in higher ed who are experiencing job loss or just trying to discern what might be the right next career step given the heavy changes we’re experiencing in the education world.
To start, we will facilitate biweekly, no-cost gatherings that take place virtually over Zoom. These will take place every other Thursday from 6:30-8pm PT / 9:30-11pm ET beginning on Sept. 18, 2025.
- Zoom links: Once the Zoom links are available, they will be sent via email to registered attendees.
- Call for volunteers: If you are interested in supporting the collective in some way, big or small, please consider exploring role descriptions and filling out the volunteer form here.
- Questions / challenges? Email staffhopecollective@mattnazario.com.
