‘Talking to Media’ and ‘Presenting with Impact’ workshops available to faculty in October

The Office of Research is offering two upcoming speaker workshops as part of the Purdue Research Speakers Initiative. These workshops help prepare research faculty for engaging with media and communicating groundbreaking research to nontechnical audiences such as panels, alumni groups, lawmakers and general audiences. The goals of the initiative are to broaden public understanding and appreciation of how Purdue researchers are making a positive impact on the world.

Upcoming offerings for research faculty include:

• “Talking to Media and Handling Difficult Questions” (virtual group session)
       Next session: Oct. 23, 3-4 p.m.
• “Presenting with Impact” (virtual group session)
       Next session: Oct. 29, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
• Individualized coaching

Group sessions are capped at 25 people. Follow-up sessions will be held each quarter.
