Upcoming Events in University Governance | Feb.

University Governance

Dear all,

We want to make you aware of some upcoming events in University Governance for our faculty and staff.

Feb. 23, 12-1 p.m.: How to Write for the Public

We are offering the following workshop for both faculty and staff.

This session will dig into why to write for the public—and how to do it. It will cover everything from the benefits of writing for the public to how to write various types of op-eds, from how to pitch editors and to how to publicize your work both within and outside of the academy. This session will address the differences stylistically between academic and public writing and how to adapt to the new form, the benefits and downsides to social media, citations, and other elements of public scholarship as well.
