Student Training - SEDTalks! Program

The SEDTalks! Program is a platform for graduate students to share their sustainability research, develop professional skills in publicspeaking and communication, expand their academic and industrial networks, and work with other researchers to make an impact on sustainability through engineering and design. The program consists of a fall communication workshop series, a 3-minute thesis presentation, individualized presentation skills coaching, and finally the SEDTalks! Event, where 3 students, our ChangeMakers, deliver a talk about their research in a “TEDTalk-style” presentation. The 2020 SEDTalks! Event was scheduled to take place on March 18, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing spring shutdown, the event has been postponed and moved online. The rescheduled 2020 SEDTalks! (online) Event will take place on the evening of October 22, 2020.
