Corridor partnerships take place on lands of the nations of the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy\, founded at least 1\,000 years ago at Onondaga Lake. Central New York remains home to the Haudenosaunee: we acknowledge the ongoing history of dispossession across the Confederacy\, and are grateful to live\, work\, and share ideas on these lands.

SUMMARY:Finding Your Research Voice Workshop
DESCRIPTION:August 26 and August 27 (9am-4pm both days\, must attend both)\n\n\nLearning to tell a compelling research story can have a significant impact on your career. It can make you stand out at professional conferences\, on the job market\, or during an ideal networking opportunity. It is easy to tell a research story badly. We provide specific presentation ideas and field tested exercises that will help you improve your talk. Once you’ve learned how to create a dynamic live performance of your research story\, you may come to enjoy presenting in public. \nThis workshop will intensively work your own research presentation and hone your engaging story through a core message. We incorporate theatrical/improv techniques and video feedback to improve your use of body\, voice\, gesture and to capture wording that resonates with your audience. \n“There are faculty who give terrible talks\, and some who make captivating\, engaging talks. I want to be in the latter category. That’s why I signed up for this workshop.”–Benjamin Rosche\, PhD student\, Sociology \nThis opportunity is open to PhD students and postdocs in all disciplines\, with priority given to those who are ready to present their research. Time: 9 am to 4 pm Friday Aug. 26 and Saturday Aug. 27\, with an hour lunch break on your own. You must attend both sessions. Due to the intensive\, personalized\, mentored interactions during the workshop\, participation numbers are limited. \nThis two-day workshop is designed for any grad student or postdoc in the social sciences\, STEM\, humanities and arts disciplines interested in an immersion to improve their research communication skills. \n“We were an image-oriented species way before development of the written word. The way we include pictures in our presentations can determine if a story will bring us together.”–Itai Cohen\, Professor\, Physics \nLearning outcomes for Finding Your Research Voice:\nCreating a Core Message\nApplying the Dramatic Arc\nConnecting with Your Audience\nExpressing Passion for Your Research\nFinding a Great Beginning\nChaptering Your Story\nSignaling the End\nImproving Your Voice\nControlling Your Body Language\nIncorporating Gesture Effectively\nHomework for the Finding Your Research Voice Workshop: \nIn advance of the workshop:\n\nRecord your 10 minute research talk and upload it to YouTube (if you have a previously recorded talk that’s fine\, just the first 10minutes will be viewed). Don’t worry about professional quality\, it can be done informally on your computer with Zoom. Make sure the audio can be heard. Your 10 minute talk should cover something you would present at a conference\, perhaps in a longer format. An hour long talk is often comprised of three separate but linked 10 minute talks. Choose the research idea that you are most passionate about as the subject for your talk. Make sure you do not disclose any proprietary information (hopefully you consider this with every talk).\nSend the private link by August 19 (or public if you are using a prior recording) to Itai Cohen (itai.cohen@cornell.edu)\, Melanie Dreyer-Lude (Melanie@melaniedreyer.com) and Susi Varvayanis (sv27@cornell.edu). We will review your talk\, speak about what we see during the workshop\, and offer concrete tips for improvement. This is an essential way you will get the most out of this workshop!\nCreate a 1 minute (approximate) Elevator Pitch of your core research message to bring to the workshop. We will use your Elevator Pitch to hone your core message and to work on your performance skills. You may write it down and email it to us ahead of time if you would like feedback prior to the workshop.It should include who you are\, what you do\, what you’ve found\, and why it is important. This is a short persuasive speech about you and your work. It should last no longer than an elevator ride (30 seconds to 2 minutes) and should be carefully crafted to maximize both information and interest during short encounters with important contacts. An elevator pitch is a 3-4 sentence summary of the main point of your talk. Briefly:\n\n\n\n\nIdentify the problem and why it is so important\nExplain why this has not yet been solved\nExplain how you will solve and why you are the person to do it\n\n\n\nFacilitated by:\nItai Cohen\, Professor of Physics\nCornell University\nhttp://cohengroup.lassp.cornell.edu\nitai.cohen@cornell.edu 617-304-2131 \nMelanie Dreyer-Lude\, Associate Professor\nChair\, Department of Drama\nUniversity of Alberta in Edmonton\, Canada\nsee her video\nwww.melaniedreyer.com\nmelanie@melaniedreyer.com 412-512-4446 \nSusi Varvayanis\, Executive Director\nCareers Beyond Academia\nCornell University Graduate School \nHome \n\nsv27@cornell.edu \n  \nRegister now:\nComplete the online registration form. Questions can be directed via email to: sv27@cornell.edu. Location will be in the Physical Sciences Building. Sessions are only held in person and participants must commit to attending both full days. If you were to pay professionals for this kind of training after leaving Cornell\, registration would be at least $500-$1\,000. Thanks to sponsorship by Cornell Graduate School’s Careers Beyond Academia\, the cost to you is nothing! \nAccessibility Requests:\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all community members. Individuals who would like to request accessibility accommodations should contact gradcareers@cornell.edu. We ask that requests be made at least one week in advance to help ensure they can be met.

That’s why I signed up for this workshop.”–Benjamin Rosche\, PhD student\, Sociology \nThis opportunity is open to PhD students and postdocs in all disciplines\, with priority given to those who are ready to present their research. Time: 9 am to 4 pm Friday Aug. 26 and Saturday Aug. 27\, with an hour lunch break on your own. You must attend both sessions. Due to the intensive\, personalized\, mentored interactions during the workshop\, participation numbers are limited. \nThis two-day workshop is designed for any grad student or postdoc in the social sciences\, STEM\, humanities and arts disciplines interested in an immersion to improve their research communication skills. \n“We were an image-oriented species way before development of the written word. The way we include pictures in our presentations can determine if a story will bring us together.”–Itai Cohen\, Professor\, Physics \nLearning outcomes for Finding Your Research Voice:\nCreating a Core Message\nApplying the Dramatic Arc\nConnecting with Your Audience\nExpressing Passion for Your Research\nFinding a Great Beginning\nChaptering Your Story\nSignaling the End\nImproving Your Voice\nControlling Your Body Language\nIncorporating Gesture Effectively\nHomework for the Finding Your Research Voice Workshop: \nIn advance of the workshop:\n\nRecord your 10 minute research talk and upload it to YouTube (if you have a previously recorded talk that’s fine\, just the first 10minutes will be viewed). Don’t worry about professional quality\, it can be done informally on your computer with Zoom. Make sure the audio can be heard. Your 10 minute talk should cover something you would present at a conference\, perhaps in a longer format. An hour long talk is often comprised of three separate but linked 10 minute talks. Choose the research idea that you are most passionate about as the subject for your talk. Make sure you do not disclose any proprietary information (hopefully you consider this with every talk).\nSend the private link by August 19 (or public if you are using a prior recording) to Itai Cohen (itai.cohen@cornell.edu)\, Melanie Dreyer-Lude (Melanie@melaniedreyer.com) and Susi Varvayanis (sv27@cornell.edu). We will review your talk\, speak about what we see during the workshop\, and offer concrete tips for improvement. This is an essential way you will get the most out of this workshop!\nCreate a 1 minute (approximate) Elevator Pitch of your core research message to bring to the workshop. We will use your Elevator Pitch to hone your core message and to work on your performance skills. You may write it down and email it to us ahead of time if you would like feedback prior to the workshop.It should include who you are\, what you do\, what you’ve found\, and why it is important. This is a short persuasive speech about you and your work. It should last no longer than an elevator ride (30 seconds to 2 minutes) and should be carefully crafted to maximize both information and interest during short encounters with important contacts. An elevator pitch is a 3-4 sentence summary of the main point of your talk. Briefly:\n\n\n\n\nIdentify the problem and why it is so important\nExplain why this has not yet been solved\nExplain how you will solve and why you are the person to do it\n\n\n\nFacilitated by:\nItai Cohen\, Professor of Physics\nCornell University\nhttp://cohengroup.lassp.cornell.edu\nitai.cohen@cornell.edu 617-304-2131 \nMelanie Dreyer-Lude\, Associate Professor\nChair\, Department of Drama\nUniversity of Alberta in Edmonton\, Canada\nsee her video\nwww.melaniedreyer.com\nmelanie@melaniedreyer.com 412-512-4446 \nSusi Varvayanis\, Executive Director\nCareers Beyond Academia\nCornell University Graduate School \nHome \n\nsv27@cornell.edu \n  \nRegister now:\nComplete the online registration form.
