Melissa Marshall

Popular TED Speaker Melissa Marshall will offer a “Research Communications Master Class” via three virtual workshops in Spring 2022. For almost a decade, she’s traveled around the world to work with Fortune 100 corporations, institutions and universities, teaching the proven strategies she’s mastered through her consulting work and during her time as a faculty member with the Department of Communication Arts & Sciences at Penn State University.

Marshall’s workshops are open to all University of Iowa faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, and students. Attendees will receive the practical skills and natural confidence they need to immediately shift their “information dump”-style presentations into ones that are meaningful, engaging, and inspire people to take action.

The schedule for Melissa Marshall’s Research Communications Masters Class is:

  • March 29, 5:00 - 6:30pm: Tell a Clear Technical Story
  • April 5, 6:00 - 7:30pm: Transforming Slide Design
  • April 12, 5:00 - 6:30pm: Short Storytelling: Elevator Pitches

Participants are not required to attend each session in the series. Please select a "ticket" for each session that you plan to attend.
