CC’s new Compensation Philosophy is one of the many great ideas to come from Project 2024. This year, the Project 2024 Steering Committee sought to make a living wage commitment part of CC’s compensation philosophy and an action group worked to revise this philosophy for the CC community.

The revised compensation philosophy can be found on the Human Resources compensation website. The website will be updated with actions taken to implement our philosophy and will provide metrics to measure the college’s progress.

There are three sessions available: two keynote speakers and a panel. The keynote speakers’ books will be available for purchase and both speakers will be available to sign books. Light refreshments will be served in between sessions. Please note that parking for this event may be limited.

Narrative Medicine is a way of thinking about how medical care is shaped by our stories – not only the themes and content of these stories, but their structure, delivery, and influence. Basic questions like “who tells the story?”, “who’s the audience?”, and “what’s the genre of the story?” can tell us a lot about the narrative and what impact it may have.

Narrative Medicine pays attention to structure, imagery, tone, character types, genre, story logic, and narrators. Each of these affects how care in medicine and the health care system itself is directed and delivered. Learn more about the speakers and view the entire afternoon’s schedule on the MacLean Symposium website. Add this event to your calendar.

The event is generously supported by The D.J. MacLean Endowment for English.
