September 1, 2012 - Course Syllabus
Course as: UAP 4964/5964 or MGT 3964
Title: Planning Presentations Internship or Field Study
Purpose: This new program is offered for an independent
student interesting in learning about and applying presentations skills, beyond
the classroom.
Identified VT Internship Coordinators: Dr.
Diane Zahm (UAP 4964/5964) or Lorraine Borney (MGT 3964)
Off-site Coordinator: Dr. Erik CB Olsen, eolsen@vt.edu, 540-320-1983
 |
| Have a core message to tie to |
The internship/field-study is a "non-traditional"
position in that it will be mostly evenings (Thursdays), and the student would
be assisting Dr. Olsen personally with 4-5 presentations this fall, and would
provide a unique opportunity for the right person. Activities would include
assisting me with and supporting 5 presentations:
1. Wed., 9/5/12, 6-8 pm (Pecha
Kucha presentation at the Lyric in Blacksburg, VA)
2. Fri., 10/5 (5-9 pm) & Sat.,
10/6/12 (9am-5 pm) (presentation workshop at VT, AA 114)
3. Mon., 10/22/12 (slidedesign workshop in Boston, MA) (distance support)
4. Thurs., 11/1/12 (FDI
course, part 1, 10am-12 pm, Torgersen)
5. Thurs., 11/8/12 (FDI
course, part 2, 10am-12pm, Torgersen)
