The deadline for submission is November 4, 2014.  Fill out and submit The Global Lens Photo Submission Application and Guidelines.

The Reflective Photo Gallery is a project for all students, alumni, faculty and staff in the School of Social Work to reflect on their identity as a visitor through photography and narratives of when they were abroad.  Students with U.S. citizenships as well as international students are encouraged to participate in the process of reflecting and sharing their experience in cross-national and cross-cultural settings.  Participants are encouraged to submit photos of their time abroad using the lens of a camera to capture and reflect on issues of Privilege, Oppression, Diversity, and Social Justice.

Professional writing is an integral part of any job, but especially in program evaluation.  Your writing reflects on both you and the results that you are presenting.  Reports that are not professionally presented are not taken as seriously.

At this Lunch ‘n Learn, you will gain the knowledge and skills related to the importance of professional writing, how to present your findings in a professional manner, and other forms of engaging professionally in writing with clients and colleagues.  Betsy Williams, the Writing/Study Skills Coordinator, has partnered with the Curtis Center Program Evaluation Group to provide this training opportunity.

Feel free to bring your own lunch.

This event is sponsored by the Curtis Center Program Evaluation Group.
