Research & Service Leadership Symposium
RSLS Spring Workshops
Participants: Get Prepared!
If you have a project that has been accepted to the Research and Service Leadership Symposium, you are now ready to begin the preparation for the big event.
Presentation Guidelines
One important step is to prepare your presentation. The second important step is to prepare for the day. Please use the following documents as a starting point. Then, attend our spring workshop series for the additional guidance you may need.
Workshop Sequence
The workshops below are designed in a sequence, guiding you through the process of crafting and submitting your personal bio and project updates, providing you tools for presentation development, and ending with the final practice run of your presentation. The last of these workshops is required, but you may find all of them valuable.
Spring Presenter Workshops
All of the spring workshops will be virtual, and require Zoom registration. You can register and join directly through the Zoom links for each separate workshop
below. If you have questions or difficulties entering, contact Allison Herman.
Email: RSLS@fhda.edu or hermanallison@fhda.edu
Optional AND Required Workshops
The first workshops are optional, but everyone must attend one of the Presentation Prep* workshops the week before the event. If your schedule does not allow, please reach out to the RSLS team, Allison Herman or Mike McCusker, for an alternative session for you or your team.
