Communicating about research impact to broader audiences is an essential component of the research process. In this special session of our colloquium series, strategic communications experts, Bill Hessert and Heather Robbins provide information on best practices and specific strategies for communicating about your research. The session will include case studies, opportunities for guided practice, and information on the resources provided by the communications offices in Penn State's College of the Liberal Arts and Eberly College of Science to facilitate communication. Please join us to learn how to extend the impact of your research and make it accessible to communities and individuals beyond your immediate research network.
