OVERLAND PARK — KU Professional & Continuing Education has introduced a new professional education program to increase organizational management training options for working professionals in science-related fields.

The KU Science Managers Certification Program is offering its Organizational Management module from 4-6 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, Nov. 2 through Dec. 10, at the Edwards Campus in Overland Park. The module will be co-instructed by Marilu Goodyear and Jenny Mehmedovic.

“Participants will learn how to move from being a colleague to a boss, to successfully move their organization forward in a changing environment and how to create a positive environment for themselves and their colleagues,” says Goodyear, who is assistant vice chancellor of academic program development at the Edwards Campus. 

Goodyear, a former KU chief information officer, also consults nationally for universities and federal agencies undergoing changes. Mehmedovic serves as executive assistant to the vice provost for faculty development at KU.

The KU Science Managers Certification Program consists of six modules, including Organizational Management. Each module is offered in a six-week period, with two sessions per week, Mondays and Thursdays from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Other module topics include organizational communication, financial management, talent management, regulatory issues and project management modules.

The program is offered through a developmental collaboration between KU Edwards Campus and KU Professional & Continuing Education.
