This interactive workshop focuses on improving "conversational" public speaking skills relevant to grad students, including poster presentations and general networking at research conferences and professional meetings. Professors David Dowling and Ellen Arruda (Mechanical Engineering) will share strategies for creating effective "elevator speeches" and ways to re-tool them for specific audiences. The speakers will then guide you through workshopping "lightning" versions of your research with your peers. Dinner will be served!!
