Media and Op-Ed Training
Media and Op-Ed Training
Hosted by University Communications, these two practical and engaging opportunities help faculty share their expertise with broader audiences. Media Training is designed to help you feel more confident and prepared when talking about your scholarship with the media and, by extension, the public. Facilitators from The Op-Ed Project help scholars translate their expertise into compelling, publication-ready opinion pieces that shape public conversations. These sessions are held periodically throughout the academic year.
