Instead of the usual "time management" approach, our presenter will introduce you to a unique process strategy, thinking proactively to help you visually organize and optimize your work productivity. This process, known as the Lean Applied to Business Process, can be applied toward achieving your educational goals as well as your chosen career.

This session will take place both in person (Haslam Business Building 402) or on Zoom (link available to registrants). This workshop is designed to provide introductory information for individuals designing research posters. Participants will explore poster design concepts, research poster elements, software available for poster design, and campus resources to support poster design and printing. This session is designed for graduate students who plan to share their work through a research poster presentation and will include hands-on time to explore design software, during which students can work with sample data or bring their own data to work with.
