SUMMARY:Community Engagement Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Community Engagement Group will hold its next meeting on Wednesday\, April 12 at 2:00 PM (EDT). We have an exciting discussion planned on: \nEmbargoes and Project Planning \nWe’ll start by discussing an embargo issue that a member of the CEG is having. I know that she would love to hear about our experiences and brainstorm next steps. We’ll then transition into thinking about how we make summer plans. For many of us\, summer is a quieter time that allows us to work on different types of projects\, whether they are large projects\, ones we’ve forgotten\, or ones we’ve put off. In this session\, we’ll discuss questions such as: \n\nWhat projects (or project types) do you have planned for the summer?\nHow do you prioritize what to work on?\nWhat are some strategies you use to make progress?\nHow do you incorporate breaks and self-care into the summer?\n\nOur bimonthly online meetings may vary in format\, with some being led by USETDA members and others featuring invited guests. Anyone interested in suggesting a topic or signing up to participate in the group should complete this form. If you have questions please contact Emily Wuchner at wuchner2@illinois.edu. \n

SUMMARY:USETDA Community Engagement Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This month\, Lili Compton\, Graduate Communication Programs Coordinator at the Center for Communication Excellence in the Iowa State University  Graduate College\, will lead a discussion on cross-training. This came out of a group discussion we had a few months ago and boils down to: how do we talk about what we do and how do we document what we do so that if someone leaves (vacation\, retirement\, unexpected events) the work can still get done? Lily has a lot of great experience that she will share. \n\nThe Center for Communication Excellence (CCE)\, housed within Iowa State University’s Graduate College\, runs the Thesis/Dissertation Writing Program (TDWP). The CCE trains and hires graduate students to be Thesis/Dissertation consultants and supervises the reviewers. Additionally\, the TDWP offers various events\, including informational seminars\, formatting boot camps\, and writing retreats. Currently\, CCE staff members oversee specific aspects of the TWDP. The COVID-19 pandemic and staff members’ maternity leaves have brought to light the need for cross-training so that staff members can seamlessly take over duties for each other as needed.\n\nThis presentation will provide an overview of the following:\n\nThe organizational structure of the TWDP and their roles\nThe planning model by semester\nThe documentation and communication protocols\nFuture ideas\n\n\n\n\n\nAnyone interested in signing up to participate in the group should complete this form.
