This month’s Academic Support Series will tackle the topic of conference posters. It will take place from 1:00 – 2:30 on November 18th in Rowe 4001.

Participants will create a simple 4′ x 6′ poster using PowerPoint. The workshop will include: setting backgrounds, inserting text (font styles and sizes), and working with images, graphs, and tables.

This is a great opportunity for any student interested in presenting research or ideas at conferences in the future. It will also be invaluable to second-year students enrolled in Management Without Borders this term!

 

The next Brown Bag Lunch will take place on November 18 at 12:00 noon in the Common Room. This month’s topic will explore the program’s reading courses and thesis option.

What is a reading course? How does it work, and what does it entail? What can the thesis option do for you?

Speakers include Bertram MacDonald (faculty adviser), Lee Wilson and Mark McCumber (who are pursuing a thesis), and Andrea Kampen, Ben Worth, Valerie Collins, and Gabrielle Brydges (who have completed reading courses). If you are intrigued by the opportunity to create your own course or pursue your own research, we hope to see you there!

Please join your fellow students, faculty and staff in the reception area of the SIM offices for some tree-trimming from 1:00 – 2:00 on November 19!

SIMSA will provide hot chocolate and seasonal tunes. Have a cup, de-stress, and hang an ornament or two! Feel free to bring baked goodies to share! 🙂

Students are welcome and encouraged to attend the upcoming SIMSA meeting on Monday, November 17, at 12:00 noon in the Grad House Alumni Room. Minutes will be posted online.
