OURA Workshops

OURA is excited to host development workshops for undergraduate research and artistry students.  These are designed for students just getting their feet wet into a research group, those getting ready to present their work, and everyone in between.

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Training
The responsible conduct of research (RCR) is essential to good science. RCR promotes the aims of scientific inquiry, fosters a research environment that enables scientists to work together toward common goals, and promotes public confidence in scientific knowledge and progress for the public good. RCR training is a requirement of the MRAD, and is often a prerequisite of working in research.

When: August 29th (5-6pm) + Online CITI training
Where: TILT 104

Setting Expectations with your Research Mentor

When: September 21st (5-6:30pm)
Where: TILT 104

Communicating Research Findings – Poster Presentations

Workshop attendees will learn how to identify the characteristics of effective research posters. They will learn how to give a poster presentation of research findings. Participants will recognize that research presentations are opportunities for discussing and networking with colleagues about research, not only for reporting research.

When: October 12th (5-6:30pm)
Where: TILT 104

Your Support Network
Building your network is a career-long task. It will grow throughout every career stage and it is never too early or too late to build your network! While every professional (and casual) conversation can lead to a professional opportunity, you should also have a thoughtful plan for what your own network should look like. This workshop will lead students through several exercises to help them with intentionally building their network.

When: November 2nd (5-6:30pm)
Where: TILT 104
