Dear @UVA PhD Students:

Are you graduating in the next year or two? If yes, do you know how to clearly communicate your research with a future employer? With a potential funder? A journalist? Students you want to recruit to your field? With your family?

[ComSciCon at UVA @ComsciconUVA]

Communicating your Research to Any Audience (UNST8000) course format provides you intensive practice sharing your research with different audiences in both oral and written formats. You will craft your message in different ways as you build your confidence as a presenter.
