    Person-centered management is a philosophy that acknowledges the whole person-honoring our individuality, experiences, and needs in the workplace. Built on the principles of congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy, this approach is especially vital during uncertain times in higher education.

    Dani Cook – Associate University Librarian, UC San Diego

    Diann Smothers – District Library Technical Services Manager, Hillsborough Community College
