On April 25, 2017, WBH hosted an abstract workshop for those proposing to present at RSA and CCCC. A number of faculty and students gathered to discuss the upcoming conferences. We talked about the unique CFP for CCCC 2018, including the hashtags that each potential presenter had to select for his/her proposal. We also talked about the historical component of the 2018 RSA anniversary CFP. After discussing as a large group, attendees broke into small groups. One group continued to discuss hashtags for their personal proposals for Cs, while other small groups read and gave feedback on each others' proposals. Overall, this workshop was immensely helpful as we all prepare to submit proposals for upcoming conferences!

In preparation for the upcoming 2017 Conference on College Composition and Communication, WBH hosted a Conference Presentation Workshop. Conference presentation skills rely on strong delivery and effective visuals, so WBH members were fortunate to learn from two guest presenters. 

Colin Robins taught attendees about the features of "Clean Presentations," emphasizing that the visuals should never detract from the speaker, only compliment their presentation. 

Dr. Richard Enos provided attendees with effective delivery strategies for presentation success. His best piece of advice: practice!

Colin Robins uses an adorable picture of his nephew to show Susanna Stanford McDaniel and Dr. Joddy Murray how visuals can engage the viewer. 

Susannah Stanford McDaniel, Dr. Joddy Murray, Dr. Richard Enos, and Meagan Serena learn about the importance of design language from Colin Robins. 

In case you missed out on this presentation workshop, Colin Robins has provided his PowerPoint presentation to share. Thanks, Colin!
