Although the results you are presenting in each format may be the same, users\u2019 needs and what is possible in each format are not. In this interactive workshop, you will &nbsp;practice strategies for crafting two key types of presentations\u2014research posters and oral research meeting talks\u2014in ways that effectively, memorably, and cohesively communicate your research for an audience. To get the most out of this workshop, you should bring a laptop and have access to notes about your research project.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Progress Reports: Friday, March 22\/3PM-5PM\/214 Daniels Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Update stakeholders about your project! In this workshop, you will learn and practices techniques that experienced writers use to communicate with nontechnical stakeholders. You will discuss key components of progress reports and apply these techniques to craft your own reports. To get the most out of this workshop, you should bring &nbsp;1-2 examples of reports aimed at nonspecialist audiences and drafts of a report you are working on. You may bring a laptop and\/or paper copies of these deliverables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Persuasive Proposals: Friday, April 5\/3PM-5PM\/214 Daniels Hall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From dissertation plans to NSF statements to pitches, proposals are ultimately persuasive documents that convince diverse stakeholders to invest in your project or product. In this workshop, you\u2019ll examine and apply techniques that are common to different kinds of proposals. You will also apply and test these strategies in a draft of your own persuasive proposal. To get the most out of this workshop, you should bring an example of \u201cpersuasive\u201d writing in your subdiscipline (dissertation proposal, grant application, pitch etc.) as well as a draft of a persuasive document that you are working on.
