Presenting at Conferences

The theme for the event will be "Presenting at Conferences." Our guest speaker will be Professor Jeannie Lum from Educational Foundations who will talk to us about her experiences presenting both nationally and internationally.

We would also like to hear from you if you have presented at conferences, as we want to explore any tips and tricks available.

The event will be held in Wist Hall (Room 130 - Tentatively) from 5:30-7:00 PM. The evening will be part social/networking, part presentation by Professor Lum. Also, COEDSA council will be providing more information to those doctoral students who expressed interest in joining the council.
