The Graduate School is pleased to announce its Summer 2013 Professional Development Seminar Series. Both seminars will be available on campus and online – streaming live and taped for viewing later. Join us for one or both seminars, designed to help writers of dissertations, theses, and reports and the staff who assist them.
- June 18 | An Office Full of Tips | 11am -noon
Learn how to use Microsoft Office to automate many of the common tasks a writer must do, such as caption figures and tables, format text consistently and place page numbers correctly. Debra Charlesworth, Assistant Dean of the Graduate School will show you tips and tricks that will help you focus on your writing instead of your formatting. - July 24 | Copyright for Your Thesis or Dissertation | 11am -noon
Who holds the copyright on your thesis? Can you put part of journal article in your dissertation? What if you wrote the article? Nora Allred, Copyright Librarian from the J.R. Van Pelt and Opie Library will present the basics of U.S. Copyright and discuss the role it plays in writing and publishing a thesis or dissertation.
Please register online to attend either or both seminars on campus or online. Once you register, you will receive an e-mail confirmation with the location or technical information needed to view the streaming video.
