Presentation Skills Webinar Workshops
Oct. 27
9 a.m. to noon, 1 to 4 p.m.

The Academic Foundations department at Bow Valley College would like to invite community college online practitioners and curriculum developers to participate in two upcoming webinar workshops hosted by the college and presented by RexiMedia.

The first workshop, Visual Thinking, will help participants visualize facts, processes, data, and abstract concepts to make their presentations more engaging. The second workshop, Virtual Presentation Skills, will offer strategies to maintain participant attention and participation when presenting via online meeting software.

Participants will be able to take part using their individual workstations. Participants should have a strong Internet connection and a headset (with a microphone if possible). Since the webinars will be delivered using Adobe Connect, participants should log in to the room 10 to 15 minutes before the sessions start to test audio and auto-install the Adobe Connect plug-in. More details will follow on confirmation of registration.

To register, fill out the online registration form. Register quickly as seats are limited. Confirmation emails will be sent to successful registration applicants. To recover some of the costs, Bow Valley College is asking for $100 per participant per workshop. An invoice for each workshop will be emailed to participants after the workshop has been completed.

For more information contact Carey Hilgartner at 403-410-1526.



Fall Career Fair
Tuesday, Nov. 1
Centennial Foyer and B-Wing Hallway
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Over 50 organizations are already registered to attend the Fall Career Fair so mark the date on your calendar. From service providers, employment agencies, industry associations and post-secondary institutions, they are here to give guidance and advice to job seekers.

Once again, a prize draw will be held for faculty who bring their students to the event and network with recruiters. More information about the exhibitors will be sent to program coordinators a couple weeks before the event so please share this information with any interested students.

The career centre is still seeking student volunteers for the day to act as career fair ambassadors. All volunteers will receive a t-shirt, lunch voucher and a certificate for their portfolio. There is also a special draw for volunteers who help out that day. If you are interested, contact Shelly at 2208.
