Publishing your work is considered one of the primary pillars of a research project. Graduate students can feel pressure to publish as part of their graduate experience. Some use their publications as part of their thesis or dissertation and some programs even require students to be a first author in order to be considered for graduation from a Ph.D. program. 

How do you even start the process of writing a publication? What are impact factors and how do you decide if your data is impactful enough to be submitted to a particular publication or journal? We have invited a panel of productive and avid publishing faculty at UMBC from our CAHSS college to talk about this and other topics related to publication. The intent of this event is to demystify the publishing hardship, learn how to overcome perfectionism (when is my paper ready to be submitted for publication?), learn how to process criticism, how to manage your time to maximize productivity (when am I supposed to find the time to sit down and write?), how to overcome writers' block, and more.

Ready, Set, Present! You can have the best idea in the industry or the most powerful message in the room, but if you don't present it right, it will fall flat. HOW we present is just as important as WHAT we present. 

In this program, we'll walk through crafting and delivering powerful presentations that immediately grab your audience's attention and then spur them to engage and act. Notable takeaways include purposeful openings, time management, bringing complex ideas to life, and handling tough questions. 

Participants will also walk away with an easy-to-remember solution for "on-the-spot" speaking. Our simple formula helps you confidently and concisely answer questions whether they are asked of you during a large presentation or in a smaller meeting setting. 

This live event is free! A recording will be available after the event with an https://hrdqu.com/membership-pricing-plans/ (HRDQ-U Membership for Learning Professionals).
