The assertion-evidence model is frequently used for academic presentations. In this workshop, we review slide design as well as presentation organization and delivery. Bring a laptop or mobile device so that you can practice applying this useful model to your own work.

Postings for tenure-track academic positions often require a “research statement” or “statement of research interests” in addition to a CV, cover letter, and teaching dossier. In this interactive workshop you’ll learn and apply strategies for developing a compelling, cohesive research statement that is also realistic and written in an accessible style.

Register for the workshop through WCONLINE.

Are you looking to volunteer in a research lab? Do you need to ask your professor for a reference letter? Are you looking to apply for graduate school and need to contact potential supervisors?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, this workshop is for you. You will learn how to communicate professionally in all of these academic contexts. Bring an email or letter that you have already written as you will get a chance to revise it and get peer feedback. Upper-year Science students will also be available to share their own experiences and answer your questions.
