Whether you are on the job market or simply trying to survive your undergraduate education, presenting your ideas well is of utmost importance.

He will take us through the steps of preparing well-organized and attractive presentations and answer further questions. Do not miss this opportunity to learn more about how to make your ideas heard!

Time: February 11th, 5:30 - 6:30 PM
