Share Your Experience: Communicating the Story of Engaged Learning Experiences with Others
Wednesday, January 31, 4:00–4:45, Information Commons 120
Conference presentations and posters don’t always have to be about research projects. The knowledge gained through a community engagement project can be shared with others in ways that connects your personal experience to broader theoretical, professional, or civic contexts. This session will give you a simple framework for translating your community engagement project into a poster or presentation for the Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium. We’ll address topics like defining your audience, making connections to academic disciplines and community contexts, and identifying experiences that can be generalized and made valuable to others. Questions can be sent to Niamh McGuigan (nmcguigan@luc.edu).
