B7 - Do More Than Inform: Best Practices for your Session
Session Description
There is so much we want students to learn from our information sessions, but there are also emotions we’d like them to feel and actions we’d like them to take. So how do we convey the right message and leave a lasting impression? We’ll explore a number of different presentation styles, discuss best practices and tips, and brainstorm unique ways to tell the story of life at your institution.
