This 3-day retreat, for 2020-2021 NDIAS Faculty and Graduate Fellows, focuses on developing high-level skills for oral communication with non-specialist audiences and understanding the types of engagement that encourage accessible and open dialogue. The workshop will be led by Kevin Friesen of the Duarte Group.

Participants will develop valuable presentation skills, such as how to incorporate story-telling into academic communications and how to visualize research presentations like a graphic designer.

The workshop will conclude with a group project and presentation that utilizes the information and tips shared during the retreat.
