This is the third year of the Student Forum on Global Learning. It is a collaborative venture between many campus centers to support Dartmouth students in presenting their experiences, research and learning on global issues. The forum is held on MLK day, January 16 2012. An administrator and faculty member is willing to help you prepare for your presentation. Presentations can be in various formats. The short abstract however is due Oct. 19. I am writing to you because I know you have great material to share with other students! The forum is a wonderful event that includes a major public speaker and networking opportunities as well as student presenations. Most presentations are 30-45 minutes and if you work with another student you may also do a panel presentation. Sessions can also be created that are interactive or workshop style. At the end of this email there is the website portal for the conference.
