You agonized over creating the best proposal and now you find out your proposal has been accepted. YAY! Time to celebrate, right? Nope, not quite yet. Should you develop a power point? What should you include? Who knew there were rules for power point presentations?

Come learn how to create an engaging and informative presentation. One that will dazzle your colleagues and have them lining up for you to take your show on the road!

After the presentation, it’s time to let out that sigh of relief, right? Nope not yet. Let us show you what to do AFTER the presentation. How do you disseminate the results to your colleagues in DSA? What about through your professional organization? How about getting your name in The State, the FSU newsletter? Come learn about next steps to take after your proposal’s been accepted and the presentation successfully conducted.
