Profiles and Publishing Workshop Learn how to give your scholarship the best chance to have an impact by making yourself findable and making your work accessible! In this workshop, we will go over the basics of establishing your online presence with author profiles, and discuss the aspects of the publishing process you can control to make it more or less likely to be able to share your work widely.

Virtual Scholars' Studio Hosted by the UW Libraries Research Commons and Core Programs in the Graduate School, Scholars’ Studio is a quarterly event featuring up to 10 short presentations (5 minutes each) by UW graduate students and postdocs. Each quarter we invite proposals for talks on a theme, in order to encourage the cross-disciplinary sharing of research. The event is fast paced and fun. It includes a QA with presenters, and a reception. Presenters receive feedback on their presentations through feedback forms distributed to audience members. Scholars’ Studio is an excellent opportunity for grad students looking to make connections and build presentation skills.
