2025 Professional Development Retreat

Library Futures:
Supporting Faculty, Students, and Librarians in a Changing Environment

Utah Valley University

800 West University Parkway, Orem, UT

Friday, October 17, 2025

As institutions of higher education move into the future, so must the libraries that support them change by adapting not only collections and services but also their roles, technology, and professional identities.

At this retreat, we will reflect on the challenges and opportunities that come with supporting diverse student populations, collaborating with faculty in new ways, and fostering resilience and innovation among library staff. The retreat will offer in-person and streaming access to sessions.

Full Schedule Forthcoming

Presentations will be recorded and made available after the retreat.

We will also include time and space for attendees to meet new colleagues from across Utah and catch up with friends and acquaintances.

We hope to see you (in person or virtually) in October!
