Subject: For First-Year EPDers: EPD Workshop Survey | EPD Workshop Briefing Session (4/10) | Workshop Final Presentations (4/27 & 4/28)



Dear First-Year EPDers,

We'd like to invite you to two EPD workshop-related events that will be beneficial specifically to you as a first-year student. On Monday, 4/10 we will be hosting an EPD Workshop Briefing Session where you will have an opportunity to learn about our EPD Workshop program, what to expect next year and how you can help develop a project. You will also hear from several second-year students currently in the program.

Then, on Thursday, 4/27 and Friday, 4/28 we will be hosting EPD Workshop Final Presentations where second-year students will present highlights of their work. Both events will provide a great introduction into the EPD Workshop, in which you'll participate next year. See below for additional details.  

Also, to help us start planning for next year's EPD workshop, we invite you to complete our brief 3-question EPD workshop survey. This will help us gauge your interests in particular regions, topics and organizations. You can also email us with any suggestions of potential clients or projects. To access the workshop survey, click here


Best wishes,
The EPD Team
