We will use case studies drawn from the subject areas in which Dartmouth offers Masters and Doctoral degrees, so will include discussion of software and other kinds of materials. This interactive workshop is geared towards graduate students. Bring your examples and questions! We’ll have time for individual consultations from 1-1:30

PRACTICE FOR YOUR POSTER PRESENTATION FOR APRIL 4th!

Learning to present your research in three minutes is especially important for networking at conferences and interviewing for postdoc positions and industry jobs.

The GRAD Office is offering a workshop where graduate students present their research to their (smart, but not expert) peers and then receive feedback on both their explanation of their topic and their presentation skills. At the end of the session, the group will cast their vote on the best presenter for a prize. Please note: no computers/ no power point. Just graduate students speaking from memory.

A light lunch will be provided.
