Scheduling a Workshop or Presentation
There are four easy steps to planning a workshop or presentation on a health-related topic:
- Arrange a date and time. Call 593-4742 two weeks in advance of the program date. This enables us to fit your request into our schedule and select a POWER member or a staff member to facilitate your program.
- Confirm program goals. We will call you to discuss with you what you would like to include in your program. The more ideas and direction you provide, the better we can develop a program that meets your needs.
- Plan promotion. Once we're clear on what program will be provided, you develop and bring to us (at the Department of Health Promotion, 339 Baker University Center) a copy of whatever promotional materials (flyer, poster, and/or newspaper ad) you will use to encourage students to attend the program.
- Check back. Once the plans are in place, call to confirm your arrangements with the facilitator at the start of the week of the program.
