Abstract

What do we know about infusing life into professional development programs? This is something we have struggled with throughout the fifteen (+3) year history of the contemporary professional development movement in postsecondary education. The question is especially pertinent during a time when "retrenchment" has lost its shock value and has become a tired, but accurate, descriptor of what most POD members live with daily. Is there programmatic life after retrenchment? If so, what can be done to ensure it and give it meaning?
