Calling all Undergraduate Researchers! And mentors, too!

If you are participating in an undergraduate research program, the Spring 2023 workshops start this week with workshops on Tuesday and Thursday. Students participating in an undergraduate research program have many workshop options to choose from throughout the semester–so undergraduate researchers, now is the time to sign up! And mentors, now is the time to encourage the student researchers you work with to sign up!

To start the semester’s workshop offerings, the OpenLab Team invites all students to join them for a workshop on presenting yourself online, which focuses on how students can create and maintain a professional and/or academic online presence. The OpenLab team supports students developing a presence on their OpenLab sites during their academic career at City Tech and even into their job search post-graduation.

The session is on Tuesday, Tuesday, March 7th, from 1:00-2:00 PM.

Register for Presenting Yourself Online. See you soon!

Here are the Presenting Yourself Online slides.

If you attend this workshop, please share your reflections about it.
