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 link 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
The spring workshops will be a mix of on-campus and Zoom meetings, but all sessions
require prior registration. You can register and join directly through the links for each separate workshop below.
If you have questions or difficulties entering, contact Allison Herman and Lisa Schultheis.
Email: RSLS@fhda.edu.
Optional AND Required Workshops
The first workshops are optional, but everyone must attend one of the Presentation Prep* workshops 1-2 weeks before the event. If your schedule does not allow, please reach out to the RSLS coordinators, Allison Herman and Lisa Schultheis, for an alternative session for you or your team.
