<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This event is open to undergrad and grad students and postdocs. Have you had that awkward moment in a presentation where someone asks a really weird question? Has a student in class posed an off-the-wall idea while you
are presenting? Do you fear what a committee member may ask in your thesis defense? This improv workshop will help develop skills to respond to such situations. We will be doing improv comedy exercises to develop a comfort with engaging others. Participants
should expect to participate in improv comedy exercises with attendees. Fun will be had by all...we hope.

We will <em><b><u><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">raffle a few copies of her book

We need to balance intellectual exploration & discovery with professional preparation & practical skills in the education we provide to our students — because of the changing nature of the workplace and the continuing skills gap noted by employers across industries
(the very skills that we “believe” are foundational in what we do/teach). Dr. Ambrose will discuss a variety of the “balances” we need to consider, including disciplinary content and intellectual skills; intellectual skills and professional skills; HOW students
learn with WHAT students learn, among others. She will also offer suggestions about how we might achieve these balances.</span><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
