10:00 - 11:00 a.m. - Presenting yourself Online
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced so much of what we once did face-to-face into online environments, from conference networking and presentations to dissertation defenses to job talks. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the key elements of presenting yourself online, from good lighting to being engaging one-on-one or with a larger audience.
